Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Sirtuins and uncoupling proteins have been implicated in cardiovascular diseases by controlling oxidative stress. AIMS: We sought to investigate the association of sirtuins and uncoupling proteins single nucleotide polymorphisms with total carotid plaque area and morphology measured by ultrasonographic gray scale median. METHODS: We analyzed 1356 stroke-free subjects (60% women, mean age = 68 ± 9...
