Association of Serum Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D Synthase Levels with Subclinical Atherosclerosis in Untreated Asymptomatic Subjects

Recent studies suggest that lipocalin-type prostaglandin (PG) D synthase (L-PGDS), which converts PGH 2 to PGD 2 , is implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. However, clinical evidence for the association between serum L-PGDS levels and atherosclerosis has not been reported. In this study...
