the association between androgenic hormone levels and the risk of developing coronary artery disease (cad)

The Association between Androgenic Hormone Levels and the Risk of Developing Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between the serum levels of androgens and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) in an Iranian population. METHODS Male individuals admitted to Tehran Heart Center and Sina Hospital, Tehran, Iran from 2011-2012 were categorized into CAD and control groups based on selective coronary angiography. Baseline demographic data, including age, ...

A preliminary study of the association between the ABCA1 gene promoter DNA methylation and coronary artery disease risk

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common health problem in Iranian population. ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) plays central role in the efflux of the cholesterol from peripheral tissues back to liver. Inactivation of ABCA1 by epigenetic change such as DNA methylation may contribute to the development of CAD. The present study investigated the association between promoter DNA methy...

Anthropometric Measures and the Risk of Coronary Artery Disease

Association between myeloperoxidase levels and risk of coronary artery disease.

CONTEXT Myeloperoxidase (MPO), a leukocyte enzyme that promotes oxidation of lipoproteins in atheroma, has been proposed as a possible mediator of atherosclerosis. OBJECTIVE To determine the association between MPO levels and prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD). DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS Case-control study conducted from July to September 2000 in a US tertiary care referral cent...

Association study between DNA methylation and genetic variation of APOE gene with the risk of coronary artery disease

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common health problem with a high rate of disability and death. Dyslipidemia and altered metabolism of Apo-lipoproteins are involved in the CAD pathogenesis. The current study investigated two common polymorphisms (rs429358 and rs7412) and promoter DNA methylation status of APOE in the Iranian CAD patients and control subjects. Two hundred angiographi...

Association between Helicobacter pylori Infection and Atherosclerotic Coronary Artery Disease

  Background and Objectives: Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in developed countries. In addition to traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease, nowadays, accumulating evidence indicates that a variety of infections contribute to pathogenesis of atherosclerosis,  (We investigated whether Helicobacter pylori infection is related to Prevalence of coronar...
