The main cause of death in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is cardiovascular events. We evaluated the relationship of anticyclic citrullinated peptide (anti‐CCP) antibody levels with increased carotid intima‐media thickness (cIMT) in RA patients. Methods. Forty‐five anti‐CCP positive and 37 anti‐CCP negative RA patients, and 62 healthy controls (HC) were ...

The polymorphisms in leptin (LEP G‐2548A) and leptin‐receptor (LEPR Gln223Arg) seem to influence obesity and lipid metabolism among others. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of these polymorphisms on adiposity, leptin (sLeptin), and leptin‐receptor (sLeptin‐receptor) serum concentrations as well as inflammation markers.

The association between some Tumor necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐α) promoter polymorphisms and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains controversial. Ethnic differences may play a role in these conflicting results. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between −308G/A and −238G/A polymorphisms located in the promoter region of the TNF‐α

Interleukin‐6 Gene Promoter Polymorphisms and Cardiovascular Risk Factors. A family study
Interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) is a cytokine involved in inflammatory process, as well as in glucose and lipid metabolism. Several studies of the biological relevance of IL‐6 gene polymorphisms have indicated a relationship with cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to assess whether the –174 G/C and –572 G/C of IL‐6 gene polymorphisms are associated
