Association between Circulatory and Plaque Resistin Levels with Carotid Plaque Instability and Ischemic Stroke Events.

CONCLUSION: The results suggests that serum resistin levels may be used as a potential biomarker of plaque vulnerability and ischemic stroke events in patients with moderate- to high-grade carotid artery stenosis and highlight the possible relationship that plaque resistin expression has with histological features of plaque vulnerability.
