Research progress of thioredoxin system in atherosclerosis／ / 心血管康复医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Thioredoxin is one of important disulfide bond reductases in cells ,which plays important role in antioxi‐dant stress of cells and maintaining reduced state of intracellular protein and its normal functioning .The present ar‐ticle set forth the possible biological function of thioredoxin in atherosclerosis from its antioxidation ,anti－apopto‐sis ,anti－inflammation and regulation of blood lipid and glucose metabolism etc .,aiming at providing new targets for prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis .
