Adipose tissue-derived human serum amyloid a does not affect atherosclerotic lesion area in hSAA1+/-/ApoE-/- mice.
Chronically elevated serum levels of serum amyloid A (SAA) are linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease. However, whether SAA is directly involved in atherosclerosis development is still not known. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of adipose tissue-derived human SAA on...
