Atherosclerosis has been regarded as a form of chronic vascular inflammation. Numerous
biomarkers associated with inflammation have been identified as novel targets to monitor …

High carbohydrate intake and low-grade inflammation cooperate with insulin resistance and
hyperandrogenism to constitute an interactive continuum acting on the pathophysiology of …

Background: Overweight individuals commonly demonstrate elevated levels of inflammatory
and cell adhesion molecules. Elevated levels of inflammation and adhesion have been …

Endothelial dysfunction is a key event in cardiovascular disease. Measurement of
endothelial dysfunction in vivo presents a major challenge, but has important implications …

Thrombocytopenia has been consistently reported following the administration of adenoviral
gene transfer vectors. The mechanism underlying this phenomenon is currently unknown. In …

Chronic low-grade systemic inflammation represents a mechanism common to many
diseases linked to atherosclerosis-related pathways. There is a growing body of evidence …

Background CVD in obesity and T2DM are associated with endothelial activation, elevated
plasma vascular inflammation markers and a prothrombotic state. We examined the …

Objectives: Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) is a cell surface adhesion
molecule involved in the recruitment of leukocytes to endothelial cells on arterial walls …

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Accelerated atherogenesis is often seen in individuals with
chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the mechanisms contributing to this phenomenon …

OBJECTIVE: To examine whether age-related increase in concentrations of circulating
inflammatory mediators is due to concurrent increases in cardiovascular risk factors or is …
