PY - 2007 DA - 2007/10/29 TI - Aminotransferases are associated with insulin resistance and atherosclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis JO - BMC Cardiovascular Disorders SP - 31 VL - 7 IS - 1 AB - Serum aminotransferase concentrations are reportedly strongly associated with insulin resistance, an established cardiovascular risk factor that is not routinely assessed in clinical practice. We therefore explored the possibility that serum aminotransferase concentrations are as closely related to large artery disease as insulin resistance in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
