Article Synopsis
- The study explores the role of CD36 in atherosclerosis, focusing on its pro-inflammatory function and how it interacts with oxidized low-density lipoprotein, highlighting the need for clinical studies to clarify its effects in humans.
- In experiments involving 33 patients with atherosclerosis and 8 healthy controls, researchers found that glycated CD36 levels were significantly higher in patients with more atherosclerotic risk factors.
- However, poorly controlled diabetic patients showed lower levels of glycated CD36, suggesting that hyperglycemia may alter its expression, as confirmed by in vitro studies with varying glucose concentrations.
