Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: We hypothesized that LOX-1 polymorphism may impact on inflammation and cardiovascular risk by modulating systemic resistin expression. DESIGN AND METHODS: 276 men were randomly selected from a population-based cohort. Metabolic and inflammatory markers were evaluated at baseline and after 6-years follow-up, OLR1 (loxin) IVS4-14 A>G polymorphism was assessed. RESULTS: Mean plasma resistin and...
