RANTES as a Novel Biomarker for Atherogenic Dyslipidemia and Metabolic Disturbances in Patients with Type-2 Diabetes

Document Type : Abstracts

Abstract

RANTES (Regulated upon Activation, Normal T cell Expressed and presumably Secreted) is a chemokine engaged in the pathophysiology of diabetes type 2 (T2DM), related cardiovascular complications, dyslipidemia and hypertension that are major modifiable risk factors of T2DM. VEGF (Vascular endothelial growth factor) plays a role in diabetic vascular complications.
