    摘要: A novel method of identifying compounds capable of upregulating Peroxiredoxin activity is disclosed. The method includes providing a sample of cells that express Peroxiredoxin, providing a sample of a candidate compound, contacting the cell sample and the compound sample, and measuring a quantitative indicator of Peroxiredoxin activity within the cell sample after the contacting step. Peroxiredoxin inducers identified by the method and uses therefore to upregulate Peroxiredoxin activity in subjects and to reduce LDL and/or VLDL levels and to prevent or treat atherosclerosis and inflammatory disorders such as arthritis in subjects are also described. The invention also provides a method of treatment of inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases which comprises providing a patient in need of treatment with an effective amount of a composition that increases Peroxiredoxin protein or activity.
