Abstract

S100A8/A9 complex is an inflammation-associated biomarker, which binds toll-like receptor 4 and was associated with the receptor for advanced glycation end-products. S100A8 and S100A9 were accumulated in atherosclerotic lesions. High serum levels of S100A8/A9 are associated with acute coronary syndrome and atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, association between serum S100A8/A9 levels and vulnerable plaque remains unclear. The present study investigated the relation between serum S100A8/A9 levels and relative plaque density (RPD) of the carotid artery determined by ultrasonography in T2DM. The study subjects were 72 consecutive T2DM outpatients (males/females=42/30), who underwent the carotid artery ultrasonography. RPD in the carotid artery was calculated by the formula; RPD=[density of the carotid plaque/density of vessel lumen]. Serum levels of adiponectin and S100A8/A9 were measured. The median RPD was 2.1. Patients with low RPD (≤2.1) were significantly more likely to have metabolic syndrome, nephropathy, coronary artery disease, and peripheral artery disease, and higher levels of S100A8/A9, S100A8/A9-to-adiponectin ratio, and uric acid, compared to those with high RPD (>2.1). T2DM patients with low...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Inflammation

Inflammation plays a significant role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, an understanding of these endogenous processes is critical for evaluating the risks and potential treatment strategies. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular inflammation here.

CV Disorders & Type 2 Diabetes

This feed focuses on the association of cardiovascular diseases in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Carotid Artery Diseases

Carotid artery disease is a group of pathological conditions of the carotid artery. Discover the latest research on carotid artery disease here.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

Biomarkers for Type 2 Diabetes

Biomarkers can help understand chronic diseases and assist in risk prediction for prevention and early detection of diseases. Here is the latest research on biomarkers in type 2 diabetes, a disease in which the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin.

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.
