Brief Summary:
The investigators planned to research the association between plasma melatonin and coronary artery calcification in a Chinese population
Detailed Description:
Coronary artery calcification CAC is prevalent in coronary artery disease CHD and the extent of CAC predicts cardiovascular risk The causes of CAC include dysregulated matrix metabolism epitaxial mineral deposition inflammation oxidative stress and apoptosis Melatonin is the main indoleamine produced by the pineal gland it is known recently to have anti-inflammatory anti-cancer and antioxidant activities Several studies have shown that melatonin protects against inflammation and apoptosis in vascular calcification Melatonin also inhibits oxidative stress-induced apoptosis and calcification in endplate chondrocytes However no study has evaluated whether melatonin is associated with CAC in patients with coronary atherosclerosis The investigators planned to research the association between plasma melatonin and coronary artery calcification
