High baseline fetuin-A levels are associated with lower atherosclerotic plaque progression as measured by 3D ultrasound

High baseline fetuin-A levels are associated with lower atherosclerotic plaque progression as measured by 3D ultrasound

Background and aims: The glycoprotein fetuin-A has anti-inflammatory effects, increases insulin resistance and plays an important role in calcium metabolism. The aim of our study was to assess the predictive value of fetuin-A on atherosclerotic plaque progression in comparison to the established car...
