serum ctrp1 levels in candidates for coronary artery bypass graft

Background: ctrp1 is an adipokine that plays crucial roles in the cardiovascular system, and its dysregulation has been reported in patients with cad. in this study, our aim was to measure its levels in patients who were candidates for cardiac bypass surgery.methods: the participants consisted of 30 candidates for coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) surgery and an additional 30 controls. inflammatory parameters were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) kits. serum ctrp1 concentration was determined using a commercially available elisa kit.results: serum ctrp1 levels significantly increased in the patient group compared to the control group (p-value < 0.0001). furthermore, ctrp1 levels positively correlated with inflammatory parameters.conclusion: elevated levels of ctrp1, along with inflammation in cad, suggest the involvement of ctrp1 in inflammatory responses. however, this hypothesis remains to be fully elucidated.
