    The causes of arteriosclerosis include risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, smoking, obesity, and aging. Indeed, it is found from the accumulated data of student health examination conducted every year at Tohoku University that the proportion of students with arteriosclerosis risk factors (especially obesity) is increasing year by year. Therefore, we planned to develop a novel biomarker for early diagnosis of high-risk students who may develop cardiovascular disease, especially coronary artery disease. In the present study, we have performed preliminary analysis in the levels of plasma cyclophilin A in juvenile atherosclerotic patients.
