Levels of serum markers
| CoA (n=19) | Controls (n=21) | |
|---|---|---|
| sICAM1 (ng/mL) | 143.361±66.224 | 127.875±46.726 |
| sVCAM1 (ng/mL) | 128.934±24.275 | 113.279±32.153 |
| IL6 (pg/mL) | 4.142±2.478 | 3.412±2.370 |
| IL8 (pg/mL) | 4.347±2.761 | 3.478±4.038 |
| MCP-1 (pg/mL) | 70.10±37.46* | 46.54±27.75 |
| VEGF (pg/mL) | 195.6±129.4 | 178.3± 07.1 |
Serum levels of sVCAM, sICAM, IL-6, IL-8 and VEGF were similar in patients and controls (p>0.05 for all). Patients had a significant higher level of MCP1 (*p<0.05).
VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor.
