Abstract excerpt
In order to investigate whether plasma microRNA-33a (miR-33a) can be a biomarker for the early detection of atherosclerosis and to reexamine the assumption that miR-33a represses the expression of ABCA1, we compared the expression levels of miR-33a and ATP-binding cassette A1 (ABCA1) using human plasma and supernatants of macrophage cultured media. We first separated ample number of plasma samples from left-over...
