Abstract
It was the aim of this study to determine plasma haemoxygenase 1 (HO 1) across the spectrum of health, angina but normal coronary arteries (NCA) stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and relationships with angiogenin matrix metallo proteinase 9 (MMP 9), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1, and vascular endothelial growth factor Plasma markers were measured (ELISA) in peripheral venous citrated plasma from 50 healthy subjects 30 with NCA, 70 with stable CAD and 24 with an ACS and from patient s aortic root coronary ostium coronary sinus and femoral artery Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured with or without tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and platelets were probed HO 1 was raised in stable CAD (p
