Omentin-1 and vaspin serum levels in patients with pre-clinical carotid atherosclerosis and the effect of statin therapy on them.
CONCLUSION: Low omentin-1 and vaspin serum levels associated with preclinical, non-significant carotid atherosclerosis. Notably, atorvastatin administration significantly increased both adipokines, but the underlying mechanisms and the clinical impact of those changes requires further investigation.
