ANALYSIS OF THE PROTEIN COMPOSITION OF ARTERIOSCLEROTIC PLAQUES

这个子项目是许多利用资源的研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 而子项目的主要调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 列出的子项目总成本可能 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 而不是由NCRR赠款提供给子项目或子项目工作人员的直接资金。 动脉粥样硬化斑块的形成对包括心肌缺血和梗塞、中风和外周动脉疾病在内的血管疾病具有广泛的影响。从患者手术切除的斑块中提取的样本正在通过质谱法进行分析，以更好地了解斑块的蛋白质组成。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. Build up of arteriosclerotic plaques has a wide impact on vascular diseases including myocardial ischemia and infarction, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease. Samples derived from plaques surgically removed from patients are being analyzed by mass spectrometry to try to better understand the protein composition of plaques.
