Interaction between Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A (rs2010963) Gene Polymorphisms and Dietary Diversity Score on Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGFA) family of cytokines regulates proliferation, angiogenesis, and migration of endothelial cells, increases vascular permeability, and controls thrombogenicity. Recent studies have suggested that the VEGFA gene plays an important role in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome and its related disorders. Dietary diversity score (DDS) has also been shown to...
