Potential role of hemopexin in venous thromboembolism (VTE) mediated through effects on apoptosis-related proteins.

Objective: The limited understanding of venous thromboembolism (VTE) has hindered the development of novel treatment approaches. This study aimed to identify critical factors underlying VTE.

Methods: The isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) method was applied to identify differentially expressed proteins in plasma samples from patients with VTE and healthy volunteers.
