Inflammation and Vascular Function in Atherosclerosis
Inflammation and Vascular Function in Atherosclerosis

The purpose of this study is to determine whether reducing inflammation in blood vessels with an aspirin-like drug called salsalate will improve blood vessel function.

To test the hypothesis that inhibition of I [kappa] B kinase [beta] (IĸKβ), an inflammatory mediator, by high dose salsalate, will restore insulin-mediated endothelium-dependent vasodilation in subjects with atherosclerosis.
