The book presents an overview of research activities undertaken to discover the causes and mechanism of atherosclerosis over the past half-century. As we can see, we didn't get too close to the goal set. Namely, atherosclerosis, or its effects on the human organism, is still the number one disease in the number of deaths in the human population with a not-so-optimistic prognosis. In this review, I am trying to point out the numerous delusions that led to the current situation in this scientific field, which is the result of misjudgements and the wrong direction in which the research started.…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
The book presents an overview of research activities undertaken to discover the causes and mechanism of atherosclerosis over the past half-century. As we can see, we didn't get too close to the goal set. Namely, atherosclerosis, or its effects on the human organism, is still the number one disease in the number of deaths in the human population with a not-so-optimistic prognosis. In this review, I am trying to point out the numerous delusions that led to the current situation in this scientific field, which is the result of misjudgements and the wrong direction in which the research started. The orientation to research endogenous lipoproteins, as the cause of this disease, and to give up research into the role of chylomicron in this process, was certainly a big mistake. There are too many facts, including all aspects of this process, in both physiological and physical and biochemical terms, indicating this conclusion.The book is intended for students and young researchers to encourage them to think and take action, to address the challenges of researching such a significant and still insufficiently explored area of our organism.
Autorenporträt
My scientific work started at the Laboratory for experimental medicine, back in 1973, working on chylomicrons and article "The role of Lungs in the catabolism of chylomicrons in the rat," which is my eternal life inspiration. I dedicate this monograph to Prof. Dr. Stevan Milkovic, who brought me into the world of science and gave sincere support.
