Apolipoprotein E and B polymorphisms--longevity factors assessed in nonagenarians.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:In addition to being a risk marker for cardiovascular disease, recent data suggests that C-reactive protein (CRP) induces endothelial dysfunction and promotes oxidative stress. We evaluated the effects of two conformers of CRP (pentameric, or native [nCRP], versus monomeric, or modified [mCRP]) on vessel func...
