Abstract
Background and Aims : Cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) as a measure of HDL functionality is inversely associated with increased risk for cardiovascular events and mortality, and advanced plaque morphology. Adipokines, adipose tissue-derived factors, influence systemic lipoprotein metabolism and regulate vascular function. Herein, we investigated the association between CEC and circulating adipokines (anti-inflammatory adiponectin, pro-inflammatory chemerin and resistin) in patients with severe carotid atherosclerosis and evaluated their impact on post-surgical outcomes.
