Abstract

We investigated the effects of risk factors of atherosclerosis on soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) concentration and leukocyte count by using multivariate statistical analysis. The subjects were 90 people who were hospitalized for a complete check-up examination. Eight risk factors were selected as candidates for predictor variables: age, body mass index (BMI), uric acid, glycohemoglobin A1c, number of cigarettes smoked daily, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol. The predictor variables were selected using a stepwise method, [criterion variable - predictor variable (standardized regression coefficient)]; sICAM1 - age (0.1859), number of cigarettes (0.2558), triglyceride (0.2447); leukocytes - number of cigarettes (0.2827), triglyceride (0.2526), HDL-cholesterol (-0.2800); stab leukocytes - number of cigarettes (0.2460); segmented leukocytes - glycohemoglobin A1c (0.1495), number of cigarettes (0.2716), HDL-cholesterol (-0.3254); lymphocytes - BMI (0.2639), number of cigarettes (0.1495), triglyceride (0.3520); monocytes - glycohemoglobin A1c (0.2617). These findings indicated that the risk factors of atherosclerosis may influence sICAM1 concentration and leukocyte co...Continue Reading

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.
