Background And Aims: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as a potential source of circulating biomarkers in liver disease. We evaluated circulating AV+ EpCAM+ CD133+ EVs as a potential biomarker of the transition from simple steatosis to steatohepatitis.
Methods: EpCAM and CD133 liver proteins and EpCAM+ CD133+ EVs levels were analysed in 31 C57BL/6J mice fed with a chow or high fat, high cholesterol and carbohydrates diet (HFHCC) for 52 weeks.
The highest proportion of deaths among patients with cardiovascular diseases is due to ischemic heart disease (IHD), which is the second most common cause of death in Peru. This study aims to measure and identify changes in the temporal trend in mortality from ischemic heart disease in the Peruvian population. An ecological study was carried out with data from individual death records from the Ministry of Health between 2005 and 2017.
