Long-Term Interleukin-6 Levels and Subsequent Risk of Coronary Heart Disease: Two New Prospective Studies and a Systematic Review (2008)

John Danesh, Stephen Kaptoge, Andrea G. Mann, Nadeem Sarwar, Angela Wood, Sara B. Angleman, ...

BackgroundThe relevance to coronary heart disease (CHD) of cytokines that govern inflammatory cascades, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), may be underestimated because such mediators are short acting and...

Seven Lipoprotein Lipase Gene Polymorphisms, Lipid Fractions, and Coronary Disease: A HuGE Association Review and Meta-Analysis (2008)

Sagoo, Gurdeep S., Tatt, Iain, Salanti, Georgia, Butterworth, Adam S., Sarwar, Nadeem, Van Maarle, Merel, ...

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a key enzyme in lipoprotein metabolism and a major candidate gene for coronary heart disease (CHD). The authors assessed associations between 7 LPL polymorphisms and lipid...
