Özet

Objective: Vascular endothelial dysfunction (VED) is an important factor in the development of atherosclerosis. There are evidences about association of aging with VED. In this study, our aim is to identify if serum levels of homocystein, lipoprotein (a), apolipoproteins and dihydroepiandrostenedion sulphate interfere with vascular endothelial function in elderly.
