Increased circulating adhesion molecules in patients with obesity play an important role in
the development of endothelial dysfunction/atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to …

Background: The relationships between adhesion molecules and measures of obesity and
metabolic syndrome in different ethnic populations are unclear. Objective: Our aim was to …

Hypertriglyceridemia is known to be associated to functional impairment of the endothelium
and, consequently, to higher risk of atherosclerosis. Nevertheless, some crucial steps in the …

Obesity is known to increase the risk for atherosclerotic diseases. Serum levels of cellular
adhesion molecules are reported to be indices of atherosclerosis. The aim of the present …

Objective: We examined the association of circulating levels of soluble intercellular
adhesion molecules (sICAM‐1) and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecules (sVCAM‐1) …

Upregulation of endothelial adhesion molecules is the earliest step of atherogenesis.
Whether obesity induces endothelial adhesin upregulation is unknown. To address this …

Hyperplasia and hypertrophy of fat cells can be found in obesity, and increased adiposity is
associated with endothelial dysfunction as an early event of atherosclerosis. However, it is …

Clustering of multiple risk factors such as impaired glucose metabolism, lipid disorders and
hypertension has been shown to be the major background of atherosclerotic diseases, and …

Background The soluble cell adhesion molecules and adipokines are elevated in patients
with obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, breast cancer and atherosclerosis …

Background: Risk factors for atherosclerosis such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, obesity
and dyslipidemia affect endothelial function and stimulate adhesion molecules expression …
