Atherosclerosis
NIH - Medical Encyclopedia: Atherosclerosis
"Atherosclerosis is a condition in which fatty material is deposited along the walls of arteries. This fatty material thickens, hardens, and may eventually block the arteries."
Highlighted ArticleAir Pollution, High-Fat Diet Cause Atherosclerosis in Laboratory Mice
"The study showed that the combination of fine particle pollution and high-fat diet can promote the development of atherosclerosis, and may explain why people who live in highly polluted areas have a higher risk of heart disease."

Exercise and Carotid Atherosclerosis. (Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg. 2007)
High, but not moderate frequency and duration of exercise training induces downregulation of the expression of inflammatory and atherogenic adhesion molecules. (Eur J Cardiovasc Prev Rehabil. 2007) "CONCLUSION: In patients treated with statins, 4 weeks of high frequency and long duration exercise training led to a diminished expression of atherogenic adhesion molecules MAC-1 und VLA-4. After 5 months of home-based exercise training of moderate frequency and duration, these effects were blunted. Our data suggest that our patients in cardiac rehabilitation programs might further benefit from the antiatherogenic effects of an even higher amount of exercise training."
