Abstract Aim:The pro-atherogenic role of RANTES, a chemokine expressing pleiotropic activities, in the course
of type 2 diabetes-related atherosclerosis has been well documented. However, it is not known which of the diabetes-related
factors primarily influence serum RANTES levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. Our aim was to investigate
relationships between several factors known to be related to an increased risk of atherosclerosis and serum RANTES
