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. METHODS:In vivo, vulnerable plaques were established by carotid collar placement in apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE-/-) mice, and lentivirus ex...
