SERUM CYSTATIN C-ADIPONECTIN COMPLEX LEVELS PREDICT THE PROGNOSIS OF MALE PATIENTS WITH CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE

Adiponectin (APN) is an adipocyte-derived molecule with antiatherogenic properties. We previously reported that cystatin C (CysC) abolished the antiatherogenic effects of APN. We aimed to elucidate the presence of CysC-APN complex and its prognostic value in patients with coronary artery disease (
