METHOD TO PREVENT ACCELERATED ATHEROSCLEROSIS USING (sRAGE) SOLUBLE RECEPTOR FOR ADVANCED GLYCATION ENDPRODUCTS

摘要

The present invention provides for a method to prevent accelerated atherosclerosis in a subject predisposed thereto which comprises administering to the subject a polypeptide derived from soluble receptor for advanced glycation endproduct in an amount effective to prevent accelerated atherosclerosis in the subject. The present invention also provides for a method to prevent a macrovessel disease in a subject predisposed thereto which comprises administering to the subject a polypeptide derived from soluble receptor for advanced glycation endproduct in an amount effective to prevent macrovessel disease in the subject.
