Association of serum C1q/TNF-related protein-3 (CTRP-3) in patients with coronary artery disease

Association of serum C1q/TNF-related protein-3 (CTRP-3) in patients with coronary artery disease

BACKGROUND Recent studies have demonstrated that complement C1q tumor necrosis factor related proteins (CTRPs) have diverse biological influences on the cardiovascular system. CTRP 3 is a member of the CTRP superfamily, which may play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD). Here, we investigated whether serum levels of CTRP 3 are associated with the prevalence and t...

EVALUATION OF SERUM CHITINASE-3 LIKE 1 PROTEIN AND C-REACTIVE PROTEIN LEVELS IN TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS WITH CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE COMPARED TO DIABETIC AND HEALTHY CONTROL

Background: Diabetes mellitus, which is associated with elevated blood glucose, lipids and liver enzymes, may results in alterations in the production of inflammatory cytokines, including chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), which induce and promote complications of diabetes such as atherosclerosis.The aim of this study was to evaluate the serum ...

Analysis of rs6725887 in the WD Repeat Protein 12 in Association With Coronary Artery Disease in Iranian Patients

Although genetic variants that affect susceptibility to coronary artery disease (CAD) have been greatly known, a number of these single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) remain to be analyzed in populations with different ethnicities. CAD is influenced by numerous genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, and is an important reason for mortality around the globe. In this study, a novel SNP (...
