Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: SIRT1 and FOXO1 interact with each other in multiple pathways regulating aging, metabolism and resistance to oxidative stress and control different pathways involved in atherosclerotic process. It is not known, if genetic polymorphisms (SNPs) at the SIRT1 and FOXO1 have an influence on carotid atherosclerosis. METHODS: Intima-media thickness (IMT) was measured on the common and internal carotid...
