Aims Inflammation plays an essential role in the atherosclerotic process, and chemokines
such as monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) seem to play a …

Inflammatory pathways are involved in destabilization of atherosclerotic plaques. We
assessed the hypothesis that endurance training decreases circulating concentrations of …

The present study was designed to examine the effects of lifestyle modification on key
contributing factors to atherogenesis, including oxidative stress, inflammation, chemotaxis …

Objective Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is associated with poorer physical outcomes and
functional status in the older adult. A proinflammatory milieu associated with central obesity …

Background: Chemotactic cytokines, referred to as chemokines, play an important role in
leukocyte trafficking. The circulating levels of chemokines have been shown to increase in …

Background Coronary heart disease as well as major cardiovascular risk factors are
associated with elevated levels of proinflammatory markers. There is, however, limited …

Objective Obesity can be considered a state of chronic, low-grade inflammation. Particularly,
visceral adipose tissue (VAT) seems to be an active compartment in pro-inflammatory …

Aims/hypothesis The chemokines monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), IL-8 and
interferon-γ-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) are released by adipocytes and appear to be …

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: We investigated the effect of different exercise modalities on
high sensitivity-C reactive protein (hs-CRP) and other inflammatory markers in patients with …

Activated endothelial cells express monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), a
chemokine which is reportedly involved in the recruitment of plasma monocytes in the early …
