Further evaluation of plasma sphingomyelin levels as a risk factor for coronary artery disease
BACKGROUND: Sphingomyelin (SM) is the major phospholipid in cell membranes and in lipoproteins. In human plasma, SM is mainly found in atherogenic lipoproteins; thus, high levels of SM may promote atherogenesis. METHODS: We investigated in a median follow up of 6.0 years the association of SM with t...
