MSMP and atherosclerosis: These findings imply that the therapeutic effects of MSMP was potentially mediated by targeting several pivotal genes, such as androgen receptor (AR), NFKB1, AKT1, MAPK1, and CASP3, and regulating some pathways, including lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis, the AGE–RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications, the PI3K–Akt signaling pathway, fluid shear stress, atherosclerosis, and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus infection.
