Our previous studies of gene expression profiling during collagen-induced arthritis (CIA)
indicated that the putative angiogenic factor Angptl4 was one of the most highly expressed …

Objective To detect the serum levels of angiopoietin-like protein 2 (ANGPTL 2) and vascular
endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and to analyze …

Recent evidence suggests that common factor (s) or molecule (s) might regulate lipid and
glucose metabolism, inflammation, and bone and cartilage degeneration. These findings …

Objective. To investigate whether serum levels of endothelial cell activation markers in early
RA patients can serve as biomarkers for inflammation and disease activity, and are …

Objectives: To examine the potential role of the angiogenic growth factor angiopoietin-1
(Ang-1) in inflammatory arthritis. Methods: Eighteen synovial tissue samples were obtained …

Background: New serological markers that can serve as objective indicators of osteoporotic
changes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are being currently searched [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] …

Several cellular and molecular processes participate in the pathologic changes of
osteoarthritis (OA). However, the core molecular regulators of these processes are unclear …

The angiogenic factors angiopoietin (Ang)-1 and-2 contribute to inflammation and are
differentially expressed in synovial tissue of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and …

Background The incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) increases in rheumatoid arthritis
(RA) patients which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Angiopoietin-2 …

Background: Angiopoietin-2 (Angpt2) is associated with the progression of coronary artery
disease (CAD). This research aimed to investigate the possible association between single …
