Denollet J, Schiffer A, Kwaijtaal M, Hooijkaas H, Hendriks E, Widdershoven J, et al.
Am J Cardiol . 2009 Jan; 103(3):399-404. PMID: 19166697
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), soluble TNF-alpha receptors 1 and 2 (sTNFR1/2), and interleukin (IL)-6 are powerful predictors of mortality in chronic heart failure (CHF). Little is known, however, about the...

J Vasc Res . 2008 Apr; 45(5):427-36. PMID: 18401181
Objective: Matrix gamma-carboxyglutamate (Gla) protein (MGP) is a vitamin K-dependent protein and a strong inhibitor of vascular calcification. Vitamin K deficiency leads to inactive uncarboxylated MGP (ucMGP), which accumulates at...

Psychosom Med . 2007 Jan; 69(1):68-73. PMID: 17244850
Objective: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), a protein secreted by immune cells and the pituitary gland, may be associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and the mental state of coronary...

Atherosclerosis . 2006 Nov; 195(2):e1-9. PMID: 17101139
The current understanding of the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis leading to coronary artery disease (CAD) emphasizes the role of inflammatory mediators. Given the bidirectional communication between the immune and central nervous...

Atherosclerosis . 2005 Sep; 182(2):341-8. PMID: 16159607
Chronic inflammation is one of the main underlying mechanisms in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). We investigated the prognostic value of inflammatory markers for cardiac events occurring more...

Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol . 2005 Jun; 25(8):1629-33. PMID: 15961706
Objective: Matrix gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) protein (MGP), a vitamin K-dependent protein, is a potent in vivo inhibitor of arterial calcification. We hypothesized that low endogenous production of MGP and impaired...

Clin Chim Acta . 2004 Nov; 351(1-2):131-8. PMID: 15563881
Background: Matrix gammacarboxyglutamate (Gla)-protein (MGP) is a strong inhibitor of soft tissue calcification and is mainly produced by chondrocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). MGP-deficient mice have extensive calcifications...
