| Research Abstract |
New serum markers which may indicate carotid atherosclerosis were evaluated with life-style in annual health checkup. ApoB48, a marker for lipids absorbed from intestine, did not correlate with atherosclerosis in all subjects, but significantly correlated in non-obese subjects. It shows apoB48 can be an useful marker detecting atherosclerosis in non-obese subjects. Other new markers including oxidative stress did not associate with progression of atherosclerosis, but with risk factors. Notably, smoking significantly associated progression of atherosclerosis even in a short period. It emphasizes the importance to stop smoking early.
