Journal Article
Dakroub, A., Nasser, S. A., Kobeissy, F., Yassine, H. M., Orekhov, A., Sharifi‐Rad, J., …Eid, A. H. (2021). Visfatin: An emerging adipocytokine bridging the gap in the evolution of cardiovascular diseases. Journal of Cellular Physiology, 236(9), 6282-6296. https://doi.org/10.1002/jcp.30345

Visfatin/nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) is an adipokine expressed predominately in visceral fat tissues. High circulating levels of visfatin/NAMPT have been implicated in vascular remodeling, vascular inflammation, and atherosclerosis...

Journal Article
Nasser, S. A., Afify, E. A., Kobeissy, F., Hamam, B., Eid, A. H., & El-Mas, M. M. (2021). Inflammatory Basis of Atherosclerosis: Modulation by Sex Hormones. Current Pharmaceutical Design, 27(18), 2099-2111. https://doi.org/10.2174/1381612827666210122142811

Atherosclerosis-related cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally. Several lines of evidence are supportive of the contributory role of vascular inflammation in atherosclerosis. Diverse immune cell types, including monocy...
