Relationship between serum adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein and endothelial/hemostatic markers in dyslipidemic subjects.

OBJECTIVES: Some findings support the role of serum adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (A-FABP) as a key pro-inflammatory mediator that links obesity with cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the study was to evaluate the association of A-FABP with endothelial/hemostatic markers [von Willebrand factor (vWF), plasminogen activator inhib.....
