Abstract

The incidence of coronary heart disease is lower in premenopausal than in postmenopausal women, and estrogen use may be cardioprotective among postmenopausal women. Cellular adhesion molecules (CAM) are involved in the early stage of atherosclerosis, and short-term administration of oral estrogen decreased plasma concentrations of their soluble forms in postmenopausal women. However, data evaluating transdermal estrogen are sparse and long-term effect of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on CAM is unknown. Therefore, we have investigated the association of circulating CAM (cCAM) with menopausal status and long-term HRT. Plasma levels of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (cICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (cVCAM-1), P-selectin, E-selectin, C-reactive protein (CRP), and fibrinogen were measured in 74 premenopausal women, 60 postmenopausal women not using HRT, 30 postmenopausal women using opposed oral estrogen therapy, and 30 postmenopausal women using opposed transdermal estrogen therapy. All women were apparently healthy and aged between 45 and 54 years. Duration of HRT ranged from 3 to 96 months. Postmenopausal women not receiving HRT had 24% higher mean levels of cICAM-1 than premenopausal women (318 vs. 255 ng/ml, ...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Cell Adhesion Molecules in AS

Cell adhesion molecules expressed on the vascular endothelium and circulating leukocytes in response to inflammatory stimuli are implicated in atherosclerosis. Here is the latest research.
