DOI: 10.1002/jcla.22446
Abstract: Adiponectin, an adipocyte‐derived protein, is known to play a key role in the processes leading to atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (CAD) through its anti‐atherogenic, anti‐inflammatory, antioxidative, and anti‐apoptotic properties. In the current study, we… read more here.
