The importance of circulating levels of salusin-alpha, salusin-beta, and heregulin-beta 1 in atherosclerotic coronary arterial disease

Abstract

Objective: The relationship between the severity of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) and circulating levels of salusin-alpha, salusin-beta and heregulin-beta 1 has been investigated. In addition, the relationship with these peptides and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) has been investigated.
