Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Erythropoietin (EPO), which is clinically used for renal anaemia, reportedly exerts beneficial pleiotropic effects in atherosclerosis. This aim of this study was to investigate the effects of EPO on macrophage inflammation and polarization under hyperglycaemic conditions and to identify the effects of EPO-treated macrophage supernatants (SNs) on endothelial cell (EC) function. METHODS: Peritoneal...
