Expression of Resistin, Chemerin, and Chemerin’s Receptor in the Unstable Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaque [PDF]
Stroke, 2021 Background and Purpose: Unstable carotid plaques are a common cause of ischemic strokes. Identifying markers that reflect/contribute to plaque instability has become a prominent focus in cardiovascular research. The adipokines, resistin and chemerin, and ChemR23 (chemerin receptor), may play a role in carotid atherosclerosis ...

Increased expression of endothelial lipase in symptomatic and unstable carotid plaques [PDF]
Journal of Neurology, 2011 The aim of this study was to evaluate endothelial lipase (EL) protein expression in advanced human carotid artery plaques (HCAP) with regard to plaque (in)stability and the incidence of symptoms. HCAP were collected from 66 patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA). The degree of plaque (in)stability was estimated by ultrasound and histology. In

Biomarkers for unstable atherosclerotic plaques in carotid arteries
Trakia Journal of Sciences, 2019 Carotid atherosclerosis is one of the main cerebro-vascular risk factors. It is a complex inflammatory disease resulting in lipid accumulation in the artery wall. The efforts are directed to find reliable biomarkers that can predict the atherosclerotic burden, plaque instability, plaque transformation and the risk for the ischaemic stoke.

Transcriptomic and Proteomic Profiling of Human Stable and Unstable Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaques [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with high prevalence and mortality. The rupture of atherosclerotic plaque is the main reason for the clinical events caused by atherosclerosis. Making clear the transcriptomic and proteomic profiles between the stabe and unstable atherosclerotic plaques is crucial to prevent the clinical manifestations.

Plasma RANTES: a molecular fingerprint of the unstable carotid plaque? [PDF]
European Heart Journal, 2010 This editorial refers to ‘Relationship between circulating levels of RANTES (regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed, and secreted) and carotid plaque characteristics: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Carotid MRI Study’, by S.S. Virani et al .

European Journal of Inflammation, 2019 The relationship between carotid atherosclerosis (AS) and levels of serum cathepsin K (CatK) and cystatin C (CysC) on patients with ischemic cerebral vascular disease (ICVD) was explored. In total, 266 patients with ICVD who were admitted in our hospital
