From: Malnutrition, a new inducer for arterial calcification in hemodialysis patients?
The western blot results of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2) and matrix Gla protein (MGP). Comparing with non-calcified (NC) group, both slight calcified (SLC) group and severe calcified (SEC) group had significantly increased expressions of BMP2 and MGP in radial arteries of hemodialysis patients. And SEC group also had significant higher expressions of BMP2 and MGP than SLC group.
