Heme Oxygenase-1 Is Expressed in Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaques Infected by <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> and Is More Prevalent in Asymptomatic Subjects

Abstract

This study suggests a strong association between H pylori infection and expression of HO-1 in carotid atherosclerotic plaques. There was a substantial prevalence of these features in specimens obtained from asymptomatic subjects.
