Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the present study is to examine the atherosclerotic plaque stability using in vivo and in vitro techniques and to investigate the influence of exercise, anti-diabetic, lipid-lowering and cannabinoids receptor antagonists on atherosclerotic plaque texture in patients with cardiovascular risk and animals prone to atherosclerosis.
