Research Interests: Study of the early stages of atherosclerosis, in particular the role of high fat diet in eliciting endothelial dysfunction and inflamation of the brain and kidney arterioles of LDL receptor null mice and the ensuing parenchimal changes leading to functional impairment. We are curently investigating the mechanisms by which these early events are alleviated by the treatment with an oral apolipoprotein A mimetic, D-4F.
