Abstract excerpt
The Pro12Ala and C161T polymorphisms in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) have been shown to be associated with carotid artery atherosclerosis. It remains unclear whether these two polymorphisms are associated with risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Therefore, the PPARγ genotypes in 99 HD patients and 149 controls were determined, and clinical...
