Nesfatin-1 and visfatin expression is associated with reduced atherosclerotic disease risk in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

C Robinson, L Tsang, A Solomon, AJ Woodiwiss… - Peptides, 2018 - Elsevier
Nesfatin is an anti-inflammatory molecule that reduces atherosclerotic cardiovascular risk. By
contrast, visfatin has pro-inflammatory properties and is pro-atherogenic. We examined the …
