Abstract excerpt
Plasma levels of soluble forms of cellular adhesion molecules (CAMs) and their relationships with carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) were investigated in community residents. Plasma levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) were measured by ELISA in 200 community residents in Japan. Carotid IMT showed a weak but significant positive...
