The Effects of Arterial Blood Pressure Reduction on Endocan and Soluble Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecules (CAMs) and CAMs Ligands Expression in Hypertensive Patients on Ca-Channel Blocker Therapy

The Effects of Arterial Blood Pressure Reduction on Endocan and Soluble Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecules (CAMs) and CAMs Ligands Expression in Hypertensive Patients on Ca-Channel Blocker Therapy

Background/Aims: To determine the effect of arterial blood pressure (BP) reduction on endocan and soluble cell adhesion molecules' (sCAM) plasma concentration and expression of their ligands on circulatory leukocyte subpopulations. Methods: 24 hypertensive subjects of both sexes (age: 53±8 yrs)...
