Higher BMP-2 Linked to Atherosclerosis, Calcification in T2D
Higher BMP-2 Linked to Atherosclerosis, Calcification in T2D
BMP-2 levels are increased in CAD patients with T2DM and correlate positively with the extent and complexity of coronary atherosclerotic disease as well as the degree of plaque calcification. These finding suggest that BMP-2 may be an important mediator of hyperglycemia-induced plaque progression and calcification.
