Visfatin Destabilizes Atherosclerotic Plaques in Apolipoprotein E-Deficient Mice.

Visfatin Destabilizes Atherosclerotic Plaques in Apolipoprotein E-Deficient Mice.

OBJECTIVES:Although there is evidence that visfatin is associated with atherogenesis, the effect of visfatin on plaque stability has not yet been explored.
