Exploring the link between T-regulatory cells and inflammatory cytokines in atherogenesis: findings from patients with stable angina pectoris.

Background: Atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease impacting arteries, is closely linked to cardiovascular conditions. Dyslipidemia, marked by high low-density lipoprotein (LDL), low high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and increased plasma triglycerides, is a key risk factor. Atherogenesis begins when modified lipoproteins like oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) activate the immune system.
