Moreover, activated signaling pathways, including activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), nod-like receptor pyrin 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in acromegaly may induce systemic inflammation with the development of cardiovascular complications mainly AIS. This evidence concerns the gene NLRP3 and acromegaly.
