Serum N-Methylnicotinamide is Associated With Coronary Artery Disease in Chinese Patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background-—We previously reported that serum N-methylnicotinamide (me-Nam), an indicator of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase activity, is associated with obesity and diabetes mellitus in Chinese patients. However, whether nicotinamide N-methyltransferase plays a role in human coronary artery disease (CAD) remains to be elucidated. We aim to investigate the associations of serum me-Nam with CAD in Chinese patients.

Serum N 1‐Methylnicotinamide is Associated With Coronary Artery Disease in Chinese Patients
BACKGROUND We previously reported that serum N1-methylnicotinamide (me-Nam), an indicator of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase activity, is associated with obesity and diabetes mellitus in Chinese patients. However, whether nicotinamide N-methyltransferase plays a role in human coronary artery disease (CAD) remains to be elucidated. We aim to investigate the associations of serum me-Nam with CAD...
متن کاملمطالعه غلظت سرمی و پلی مورفیسم rs1800799 پروموتور ژن MGP در بیماران با تنگی عروق کرونر
Background and purpose: Coronary artery stenosis is a progressive process associated with artery calcification. Although the role of matrix Gla protein (MGP) is not completely clear but its expression in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and sub-endothelial macrophages suggests a role in vascular calcification. The rs1800799 is one of the polymorphisms oriented within transcription factor el...
متن کاملTHE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OXIDATIVE STRESS AND THE ONSET OF CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE
Oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) particles plays a key role in the etiology of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (CAD). Oxidative stress enhances the likelihood of LDL oxidation and atherosclerotic plaque development. Paraoxonase (PONI) is an enzyme associated with HDL that metabolizes organophosphates and has antioxidant activity. In order to investigate the relationsh...
متن کاملSerum Eicosapentaenoic and Arachidonic Acids Concentration and Cognitive Function in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
Introduction: Recent studies have shown that Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs), including Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA), and Arachidonic Acid (AA), are associated with cognitive functions in patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Nevertheless, controversial results have been reported, too. The current study aimed to clarify the association of serum EPA and AA levels with cognitive decline...

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 ...
