Nucleolar organizing regions (NORs) are located of the secondary structure of acrocentric chromosome and composed of proteins and ribosomal DNA (rDNA) some of which are argyrophilic. We aimed to investigate the change of AgNOR proteins, which increase in hypoxia, in patients with NSTEMI. Methods: A total of 125 participants, 63 patients with NSTEMI and 62 volunteers without any acute coronary syndrome were included in the study. Echocardiography was performed and both mean AgNOR Number and total AgNOR area/total nuclear area (TAA/TNA) were detected for each individuals. Results: The mean AgNOR number and TAA/TNA ratio were significantly higher in the NSTEMI group than control (p<0.001). Also, statistically significant relations between TAA/TNA and all of creatinine, hemoglobin, WBC(mu l/ml), monocyte, neutrophil, neutrophil /lymphocyte ratio, monocyte/lymphocyte ratio were detected (p<0.05 for all). Also, statistically significant relations between mean AgNOR number and all of fasting blood sugar, HDL, WBC(mu l/ml), monocyte, neutrophil, EF were detected (p<0.001). Conclusions: Both AgNOR protein amounts may be used as a marker for NSTEMI. It may also contribute to the prediction of the outcomes by providing some prognostic information in NSTEMI.en10.18521/ktd.1073568info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAgnor; Hypoxia; Nor; NstemiProtein-Synthesis; Lymphocyte Ratio; Prognostic Value; Neutrophil; CellsArticle141132141511251WOS:000821639100018
