Cox-2 gene polymorphism and IL-6 levels in coronary artery disease.
Coronary artery disease is one of the leading causes of mortality and diabetes mellitus is one of its main risk factors due to microvascular and macrovascular complications, such as atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is now known to be an inflammatory process mediated by prostaglandins and several interleukins. As both are important in inflammatory processes, we examined Cox-2 (-765G > C) polymor...
متن کاملSerum Levels of TNF-a, IL-6, and Selenium in Patients with Acute and Chronic Coronary Artery Disease
Background: Selenium (Se) is part of the glutathione peroxidase enzyme complex (GSH-PX) that plays an important role in antioxidant mechanisms in body, also it has been demonstrated that populations with low Se intake have 2-3 times greater risk of ischemic heart disease. Objective: To determine the circulating levels of IL- 6, TNF-α, Cu, Zn, and Se in patients with chronic coronary artery dis...
متن کاملStudy of the correlation between ACE gene polymorphism and coronary artery disease
Introduction: Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is an exopeptidase that converts Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor and releases aldosterone, and have a critical role in hypertension. In this study, ACE insertion / deletion (I/D) polymorphism and ACE activity was determined in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and normal subjects. The corr...
متن کاملACE Gene Polymorphism and Coronary Artery Disease
Great personal enthusiasm, temptation, technical efforts, and complex mathematical equations characterize the developing research field of newly identified gene polymorphisms and their impact on a variety of cardiovascular diseases. After the first publication of Cambien and coworkers1 in Nature in 1992, who reported that the D/D angiotensinconverting enzyme (ACE) polymorphism is a potent risk ...
متن کاملAssociation of the CETP TaqIB Polymorphism with Coronary Artery Disease in Type 2 Diabetic Patients
Abstract Background and Objective: Diabetes mellitus is the most common risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) TaqIB polymorphism is associated with changes in lipid profile and may be a risk factor for CAD in patients with diabetes. This study aimed to evaluate the association of CETP TaqIB polymorphism with CAD in...
