Abstract

Raloxifene hydrochloride binds to the estrogen receptor and shows tissue-selective effects; thus, it belongs to a class of drugs recently described as selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs). Tissue selectivity of raloxifene may be achieved through several mechanisms: the ligand structure, interaction of the ligand with different receptor subtypes in various tissues, and intracellular events after ligand binding. Raloxifene has estrogen-agonist effects on bone and lipids and estrogen antagonist effects on the breast and uterus. In addition to its well established effects on osteoporosis, recent preclinical and clinical findings suggest that raloxifene also possesses beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. These findings indicated that raloxifene may have cardioprotective properties without an increased risk of cancer or other side effects. Raloxifene has been shown to reduce total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations in plasma, an effect similar to that produced by estrogens. Unlike estrogens, however, raloxifene does not increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels in plasma. Endothelium is thought to play an important role in the genesis of atherosclerosis. Several li...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Homeostasis

Cardiovascular regulation and homeostasis is important in maintaining health and dysfunction may lead to cardiovascular diseases. Nitric oxide and vascular endothelium are one of many molecules involved in the homeostatic mechanism. Here is the latest research on cardiovascular homeostasis.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.
