Background: Recent studies have suggested an important role of advanced glycosylation end products receptor (RAGE) in the development of atherosclerosis. However, investigation of the relationship between RAGE polymorphisms (−429T/C, −374T/A) and coronary heart disease (CHD) has shown contradictory results. Furthermore, hyperandrogenemia in women postmenopause has been associated with an adverse CHD risk profile.Aim of the study: To investiga...
