Disorders of thyroid gland are common in general population, and it's the most common affecting the endocrine system after diabetes mellitus. Thyroid function regulates a wide range of metabolic parameters, as well as affects some cardiovascular disease risk factors. Fructosamine is produced by a reaction between albumin (protein) and glucose; it is used to monitor patients with diabetes for short-term glycemic changes. H-FABP is present in the cytoplasm of cardiac myocytes, and delivers fatty acids into these cells. It has been shown to increase in myocardial injury. Lipoprotein LP(a) is consist of a special apolipoprotein called apoprotein (a), and it's recognized as a cardiovascular disease independent risk factor.
