Does the C-terminus of murine S100A9 inhibit spreading and phagocytic activity of adherent peritoneal cells?
These results suggest a modulator effect of the C-terminus of S100A9 protein on the function of adherent peritoneal cells.
Carriers of the 12Ala allele of PPARgamma have less widespread CAD and are considerably protected against 10-year (cardio)vascular morbidity and mortality. These long-term findings in patients with manifest CAD support an important role of PPARgamma in determining vascular risk.
