Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to predictors of vascular aging and their use. Specifically, the present invention relates to a vascular aging predictor and a detection method thereof using glutathionylation of a specific sulfhydryl group of human apolipoprotein B100 as an index. Background technique
[0002] Among metabolic syndrome, which is expected to become more and more popular in the future, diabetes (impaired glucose tolerance), hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, etc., which are underlying diseases of metabolic syndrome, generally function as accelerators of vascular aging. Vascular aging causes myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction through the formation of arteriosclerosis and arterial blockage. However, available objective indicators of vascular aging are those obtained by morphological measurements (eg, ultrasound diagnosis of carotid arteries), and a simple measurement method using patient serum as a sample has not yet been estab...
