Identification of candidate genes linking systemic inflammation to atherosclerosis; results of a human in vivoLPS infusion study
10 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: It is widely accepted that atherosclerosis and inflammation are intimately linked. Monocytes play a key role in both of these processes and we hypothesized that activation of inflammatory pathways in monocytes would lead to, among others, proatherogenic changes in the monocyte transcriptome. Such differentially expressed genes in circulating monocytes would be strong candidates for further...
