Aging is associated with greater nuclear NFκB, reduced IκBα, and increased expression of proinflammatory cytokines in vascular endothelial cells of healthy humans
8 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
The vascular endothelium may develop a proinflammatory profile with aging, but evidence is limited in humans. Expression of inflammatory proteins was determined in vascular endothelial cells (EC) obtained from peripheral veins of 24 young (23 +/- 1 years, mean +/- SE) and 36 older (63 +/- 1) healthy men and women using quantitative immunofluorescence. The older subjects had lower vascular endothelium-dependent...
