The Veterans Affairs Diabetes Trial has documented that vascular calcification was elevated in the Veterans, but the lipid-lowering statins failed to inhibit the disease progression. Disrupted circadian clock is a common issue in military personnel, which affects many of our Veterans. Abnormal circad... |
