“…A significant correlation between YKL-40 plasma levels and age has been a matter of agreement (19,20,22,23,25,26,(28)(29)(30) or disagreement (14, 31-34) (like ours) in different studies. Such pros (23,24,35) (like ours) and cons (13,14,19,27) issues are also true in the case of the significant correlation between YKL-40 plasma levels and BMI.…”

“…Recently, a number of novel markers, such as Rho-kinase activity [78] and human cartilage glycoprotein-39 (HCgp-39/YKL-40) [79], have been highlighted as markers of atherosclerosis. The ratio between plasma levels of macrophage scavenger receptor CD163 and tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) was also shown to be a potential biomarker of athero-thrombosis in asymptomatic PAD subjects [80].…”

“…In patients with acute myocardial infarction [75], coronary artery disease [76,77] and carotid atherosclerosis [78], YKL-40 levels correlated with the degree of vascular obstruction, symptoms and severity of the disease. Additionally, it was shown that high serum YKL-40 is associated with vascular complications in patients with type I and type II diabetes [79,80]. Furthermore, analysis of YKL-40 levels in plasma or serum could predict long-term mortality in patients with coronary disease and type II diabetes [81,82].…”
