Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in patients with peripheral arterial disease.
BACKGROUND Chemokine-driven migration of inflammatory cells has been implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic conditions including peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is elevated in patients with coronary artery disease and in hypertensive patients. This study therefore investigated MCP-1 in patients with PAD. METHODS Serum MCP-1 was determin...
متن کاملIncreased ambulatory arterial stiffness index and pulse pressure in microalbuminuric patients with type 1 diabetes.
BACKGROUND Ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI) has been proposed as an indirect measure of arterial stiffness. The aims of this study were (i) to analyze AASI and pulse pressure (PP) in micro- and normoalbuminuric type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients and healthy controls and (ii) to explore the relation between nocturnal blood pressure (BP) reduction, BP variability, and AASI. METH...
متن کاملSerum Levels of Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 Correlate with Poor Clinical Grades in Cerebral Aneurysms
Background : Ruptured cerebral aneurysms (ICAs) are the most common non-traumatic cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) that is associated with life threatening complications such as Vasospasm, Infarction, and Hydrocephalus (HCP). The active participation of macrophage/monocyte-mediated inflammatory response in the pathogenesis of cerebral aneurysm as labeled with Monocyte ChemoattractantProte...
متن کاملSerum Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 Concentrations Associate With Diabetes Status but Not Arterial Stiffness in Children With Type 1 Diabetes
OBJECTIVE The relationship between circulating markers of inflammation and arterial stiffness in children with type 1 diabetes is not well studied. We tested whether inflammatory monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 concentrations correlate with arterial stiffness or type 1 diabetes status. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS MCP-1 concentrations and radial tonometry data were available for 98 ch...
متن کاملAmbulatory arterial stiffness index: determinants and outcome.
OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that one minus the slope of diastolic on systolic blood pressure in individual 24-h ambulatory blood pressure recordings (ambulatory arterial stiffness index) might reflect arterial stiffness and predict cardiovascular mortality. METHODS In volunteers and a population recruited in China, we studied concordance between ambulatory arterial stiffness index and establis...
