pubmed-article:11711274 | pubmed:abstractText | Elevated serum total sialic acid (TSA) has been shown to be associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. It has been postulated that atherogenesis is a postprandial phenomenon. We tested the hypothesis that serum TSA and other acute phase proteins, namely C-reactive protein (CRP) and fibrinogen, may be related to the postprandial state. | lld:pubmed |
