Association of high plasma antioxidant capacity with new lesion formation in carotid atherosclerosis: a prospective study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) has recently been implicated in leukaemic cell growth, tumour-associated angiogenesis and expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). We examined whether mTOR plays a role as regulator of growth and VEGF-expression in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Three ...
