Endothelial dysfunction after repeated Chlamydia pneumoniae infection in apolipoprotein E-knockout mice.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Myocardial infarction, stroke, and sudden death undergo diurnal variation. Although genes relevant to hemostasis and vascular integrity undergo circadian oscillation, the role of the molecular clock in thrombotic events remains to be established. METHODS AND RESULTS:A diurnal variation in the time to thromb...
