[Importance of plasma fibronectin in vascular diseases of diabetic patients].
Fibronectin (Fn) is a glycoprotein secreted principally by vascular endothelial cells and its main function is to maintain the adhesion between the various cells and the substrates. Owing to these two features, the glycoprotein participates in several pathologies affecting blood vessels, such as atherosclerosis and diabetes mellitus (DM). In this paper, we studied the quantitative differences of this protein in diabetic patients with associated macro and microangiopathy.
