On the other hand, hypertension is related with excess angiotensin II which would lead to oxidative stress. In this study,we investigated the correlation between F2-Isoprostane (as marker of oxidative stress) with Stromal Cell-Derived Factor-1 (SDF-1) and CD34 …
Aim to assess the differences between Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP), ratio of oxidized-Low Density Lipoprotein (Ox-LDL)/High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) and ratio of Lipoprotein-associated Phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2)/HDL in predicting the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in patients with controlled and uncontrolled type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM).
