DOI: 10.1002/clc.23095
Abstract: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease. Many studies demonstrated that hyperglycemia is not only increased inflammatory response, but also is a cause of atherosclerosis, implying that glucose metabolic status may be an important stratification factor when… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Persistent inflammation in HIV infection is associated with elevated cardiovascular disease risk, even with viral suppression. Identification of novel surrogate biomarkers can enhance cardiovascular disease risk stratification and suggest novel therapies. We investigated the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.966890
Abstract: Background Sortilin, a protein that regulates glucose and lipid metabolism, has recently been linked to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) such as coronary heart disease and carotid artery stenosis. In this study, we measured circulating sortilin concentrations… read more here.
