Increased Level of Circulating Endothelial Microparticles and Cardiovascular Risk Factors.
4/1/2011 J Clinic Experiment Cardiol. 2011 April 5;2:131 Mirikova N, Casciari J, Hunninghake R, Riordan N. Background: Formation of microparticles is part of normal cellular function. The number of microparticles increases in conditions that cause cell stress and is the marker of exposure of endothelial cells to unfavorable plasma molecules. In our study, we analyzed…
Vitamin D concentrations, endothelial progenitor cells, and cardiovascular risk factors.
6/1/2010 Panminerva Med. 2010 Jun;52(2 Suppl 1):81-7 Mikirova NA, Belcaro G, Jackson JA, Riordan NH. Our study aimed to establish the association of vitamin D status with the level of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and circulating angiogenic cells (CACs) and to demonstrate the effect of vitamin D on the level of lipoproteins responsible for…
