Relationship between Circulating PCSK9 and Markers of Subclinical Atherosclerosis-The IMPROVE Study
Biomedicines
Circulating proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is one of the key regulators of cholesterol metabolism. Despite this, its role as a player in atherosclerosis development is still matter of debate. Here, we investigated the relationships between this protein and several markers of subclinical atherosclerosis.
