Receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) signalling, crucial for diabetic macroangiopathy, is also highly suspected to be involved in atherogenesis in the setting of preserved glucose metabolism.Aim: To determine the relationships between peripheral blood concentrations of RAGE agonists, namely amfoterin (HMBG1) and carboxy-methylo-lisine (CML) as well as RAGE inhibitor Endogenously Secretory RAGE (esRAGE), and the severity of atherosclerosis ...
