Abstract
It is well established that glyc-LDL is elevated in the serum of diabetic patients compared to healthy subjects, and that vascular calcification is common in diabetes. Furthermore, recent studies suggest that advanced glycation end products may play a pathogenic role in vascular calcification. We hypothesise that glyc-LDL promotes the osteogenic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells in vitro.
