OBJECTIVE: Atherosclerosis (AS) is the main pathological basis of ischemic cardio-cerebrovascular diseases, and the intimal thickness (IT) of large arteries is regarded as a powerful evaluation indicator for AS. We established an effective neural net...
BACKGROUND: Gene expression may be an important biological mediator in associations between social factors and health. However, previous studies were limited by small sample sizes and use of differing cell types with heterogeneous expression patterns...
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, autoimmune disease which may result in a higher risk of cardiovascular (CV) events and stroke. Tissue characterization and risk stratification of patients with rheumatoid arthritis are a ...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The neuropeptide catestatin (CST) is an endogenous nicotinic cholinergic antagonist that acts as pleiotropic cardiac protective hormone. This study investigated the association between CST and coronary artery disease (CAD) and th...
AIM: To evaluate the association of serum FGF21 with subclinical atherosclerosis and pulse wave velocity, a marker of arterial stiffness, in type 2 diabetes Egyptian patients.
Scavenger receptors are a highly diverse superfamily of proteins which are grouped by their inherent ability to bind and internalize a wide array of structurally diverse ligands which can be either endogenous or exogenous in nature. Consequently, sca...
The manifestation of complex traits is influenced by gene-gene and gene-environment interactions, and the identification of multifactor interactions is an important but challenging undertaking for genetic studies. Many complex phenotypes such as dise...
This review addresses the structure-function properties of hypolipidemic peptides. The cholesterol-lowering peptide (lactostatin: IIAEK) operates via a new regulatory pathway in the calcium-channel-related mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) sign...

INTRODUCTION: Atherosclerotic diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Biomarkers of atherosclerosis are required to monitor and prevent disease progression. While mass spectrometry is a promising technique to search for such biomarkers, it...
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is strongly associated with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Detection of subclinical PAD may allow early interventions for or prevention of PAD in persons with CKD. Whether the presence of atherosclerotic pla...
