Evidence for the role of chronic @entity32 in atherogenesis has been well documented. @entity24064 mediate the first step in leukocyte adhesion and may contribute to the pathogenesis of stable and @entity1459 . METHODS: The study group consisted of 59 @entity1 (pts) with @entity453 ( @entity453 ) documented coronarographically: 27 pts with stable exertional @entity951 (group A), 32 pts with @entity1459 (group B). 20 healthy @entity1 were the control group (group C). Serum levels of @entity4105 and @entity8729 were measured by ELISA method both before and after the treadmill ECG stress test (ST) in groups A and C. In group B the measurements were carried out at 6, 24, and 48 hours following an episode of @entity662 . RESULTS: There were no differences between the baseline serum levels of @entity24064 as determined in groups A and C. In @entity1 with @entity5749 , the post-ST concentrations of @entity4105 were significantly higher (68.8 +/- 29 ng/ml) in comparison to both baseline (38.7 +/- 15 ng/ml), and group C-values (pre-ST: 35.1 +/- 16; post-ST: 49.9 +/- 15 ng/ml). In unstable patients, serum @entity8729 levels were higher when compared to those found in groups A and C (group A: 142.3 +/- 24; group B: 190.1 +/- 99; group K: 136.4 +/- 33 ng/ml). No differences between @entity24064 concentrations were observed at fixed times after an episode of @entity662 . CONCLUSIONS: Soluble @entity24064 levels in pts with @entity5749 are comparable to those of healthy @entity1 . Significant increase of @entity4105 concentration as induced by ST may reflect endothelial response to exercise. @entity1 with @entity1459 had elevated levels of @entity8729 , which seems to be associated with enhanced platelet and leukocyte activation. The serum levels of @entity24064 may indirectly reflect clinical condition of pts with @entity453 .
