Abstract excerpt
Arterial stiffness is a critical factor in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, yet clinical practice lacks specific therapeutic targets and biomarkers for its assessment. Hyperlipidemia closely correlates with arterial stiffness, and we observed elevated CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein β (C/EBPβ) expression in atherosclerotic mouse arterial walls. As the arterial medial layer predominantly consists of...
