CMKLR1 and aortic atherosclerosis: When controlling for BMI, partial correlations between periaortic fat chemerin (ρ=0.793, p < 0.001), aortic VSMC chemerin (ρ=0.587, p < 0.001), aortic foam cell chemerin (ρ=0.711, p < 0.001) and aortic foam cell CMKLR1 (ρ=0.434, p=0.012) expression and aortic atherosclerosis remained strong.
