Objective Serum C3, a complement component produced by macrophages, the liver and the
adipose tissue, is associated with the risk of myocardial infarction in men. This study was …

Aims Serum C3 is a powerful indicator of the risk of myocardial infarction, which correlates
with body mass index, serum lipids and blood pressure. This study was performed to …

PURPOSE: Serum complement and IgA levels have been found to be retrospectively
associated with the presence of diffuse atherosclerosis. This study was performed to assess …

In the present study, we examined (i) whether C3 (complement C3) was an independent
marker of prevalent CHD (coronary heart disease), and (ii) which preferential associations …

Background Complement factor C3 and C4 have been associated with atherosclerosis and
cardiovascular risk factors. This study explored whether plasma levels of C3 and C4 are risk …

C3 complement is produced in response to macrophage activation and is a reliable marker
of the risk of myocardial infarction in men. This study was designed to ascertain whether the …

Aim The aim of this study was to assess the association between the third component of the
complement (C3) and other risk factors of coronary heart disease. Methods and results We …

BACKGROUND: Serum C3 is an inflammatory predictor of myocardial infarction and a
covariate of fasting insulin and several endogenous risk factors. This study was performed to …

BACKGROUND: Complement C3 is an emerging risk factor for coronary heart disease
(CHD) and is particularly increased in the metabolic syndrome. A direct effect of smoking on …

Acute coronary syndrome is an inflammatory disease, during which the complement
cascade is activated. We assessed the complement C3 and C4 concentration ratio (C3/C4 …
