Abstract

OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aimed to investigate the alterations in plasma viscosity and whether there was a relationship between plasma viscosity and endothelial dysfunction markers such as nitric oxide (NOx), asymmetric dimethylarginine(ADMA) and oxidized Low Density Lipoprotein (oxLDL) in dyslipidemic subjects.
