How mRNA changes during the progression of atherosclerosis

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

Researchers from the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) and the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP) have studied variations in mRNA length during the progression of atherosclerosis in a mouse model.

Association of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio with severe abdominal aortic calcification: new evidence from the United States

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundAbdominal aortic calcification (AAC), an early indicator of abdominal aortic wall atherosclerosis, is a marker of subclinical atherosclerosis and a predictive factor for vascular-associated morbidity and mortality. However, further research is required to confirm this association.

Integrative bioinformatics and machine learning approach unveils potential biomarkers linking coronary atherosclerosis and fatty acid metabolism-associated gene

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Atherosclerosis (AS) is increasingly recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease that significantly compromises vascular health and acts as a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases. Advancements in lipi.

Association between the systemic immune-inflammation index and metabolic syndrome and its components: results from the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis (MESA)

Cardiovascular Diabetology

The Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) is a novel biomarker of systemic inflammation. We explored the association between the SII and metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components in middle-aged and older.

The role of the kynurenine pathway in cardiovascular disease

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Multiple metabolites of KP have been observed to exhibit elevated concentrations in plasma across various cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, and acute myocardial infarction. Multiple studies have indicated that kynurenine (KYN) may serve as a potential biomarker for several adverse cardiovascular events.

Associations of the triglyceride-glucose index and atherogenic index of plasma with the severity of new-onset coronary artery disease in different glucose metabolic states

Cardiovascular Diabetology

The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is considered a dependable biomarker for gauging insulin resistance. The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) represents a marker reflecting atherosclerosis. However, there is.

Abstract 4136687: VTRNA2-1 Promoter Methylation as a Prognostic Biomarker in Peripheral Artery Disease: Implications for Maternal Nutritional Influence

Circulation

Background:Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is associated with high morbidity and mortality and is closely related to diabetes mellitus (DM) and atherosclerosis. General population samples from the National Health Research Institutes were used as the control group to compare the methylation status.
