Objective—Endothelial dysfunction is a possible mechanism to explain the association
between atherosclerosis and kidney disease. This study evaluated circulating soluble …

Abstract Background and Aims Endothelial cell-selective adhesion molecule (ESAM) is
selectively expressed on vascular endothelium and is postulated to play a role in …

Purpose The newly discovered endothelial cell-selective adhesion molecule (ESAM)
stabilizes the interendothelial tight junction; it circulates in serum as a soluble fraction. In …

Background Cell adhesion molecules are key regulators of atherosclerotic plaque
development, but circulating levels of soluble fragments, such as intercellular adhesion …

Eur J Clin Invest 2012; 42 (11): 1227–1234 Abstract Background Endothelial cell–selective
adhesion molecule (ESAM) contributes to the integrity of tight junctions and modulates …

Objective—Endothelial cell–selective adhesion molecule (ESAM) is a junctional-type
cellular adhesion molecule (CAM) that is uniquely expressed in vascular endothelium and …

Background. Inflammation is thought to contribute to initiation and aggravation of
atherosclerosis through a process predominantly mediated by adhesion molecules. The …

Microalbuminuria is a primary manifestation of diabetic nephropathy. Endothelial cell-
selective adhesion molecule (ESAM) is a new member of the immunoglobulin superfamily …

Purpose Atherosclerotic cardiovascular complications represent significant cause of
mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. The aims of this study were to:(a) investigate …

Abstract Background/Aims: Endothelial dysfunction, a common feature among hypertensive
and type-2 diabetic patients, is associated with inflammation, increased levels of circulating …
