Serum cholesterol values are markedly lower in Korea than in Belgium in both males and females. This is attributed to the much lower consumption of saturated fat in Korea. A mean population serum cholesterol value of about 160 mg/dl appears to be compatible with excellent general health and with the absence of ischemic heart disease or other atheromatous diseases.

vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) is a multifunctional cytokine with distinct functions in angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, vascular permeability, and hematopoiesis. vegf is a highly conserved, disulfide-bonded dimeric glycoprotein of 34 to 45 kda produced by several cell types including fibroblasts, neutrophils, endothelial cells, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells, particularly t ...

Cardio-vascular diseases are the major cause of mortality, with ischemic cardiac disease as the major form, followed by stroke. Each of these diseases accounts for some 15 million deaths per year, representing 30% of the total number of death. The highest mortality is registered in the countries of former USSR and those of Eastern Europe. France and Japan had the lowest rate of mortality by isc...
