... intima-media thickness, atherosclerotic plaque and stenosis; western blot and RT-qpcr were used to detect the FGF23 protein and mRNA expression results of this study showed that in the left pop artery, the inner diameter of the T2DM group was smaller than that of the control group (P<0.05), while the peak flow velocity, blood flow and spectral width of the T2DM group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). In the left and right dorsal foot...

...constructing an unstable atherosclerotic plaque model in the abdominal aorta of New Zealand rabbits. The experimental New Zealand rabbits were fed adaptively for one week before being punctured through the abdominal aorta with a balloon to injure the intima. Vitamin D (1.5 mL/kg) was administered one week after the surgical model was completed. Following injection, the animals were fed a high-fat diet for 16 weeks.

...nked to a higher risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The development and outcome of atherosclerosis are both influenced by vascular inflammation. The main purpose of this study is to find the impact of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and thrombomodulin on vascular damage in the patients having impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and to identify the relationship of IL-6 with insulin resistance. The patients visiting Amin Hayat Memorial Diabetic Center, Lahore fro...
