Oxidative stress and inflammation play a pathogenic role in atherosclerosis. Thioredoxin-1 (Trx-1) is an anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory protein with atheroprotective effects. However, in vivo cleavage of Trx-1 generates a truncated pro-inflammatory protein, Trx-80, which compromises the therapeutic use of Trx-1. Here we analysed whether the thioredoxin-mimetic peptide (TxMP), CB3 might exert anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and atheroprotective effects in ApoE2.Ki mice.
