Abstract
<b><i>Objective:</i></b> This study aims to investigate whether plasma matrix Gla protein (MGP) species, desphospho-uncarboxylated (dp-uc) MGP, and total uncarboxylated (t-uc) MGP are associated with plaque levels of uncarboxylated (uc) MGP, markers of plaque stability, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> From the Athero-Express biobank, we selected carotid plaque samples...
