To best of our knowledge this is the first study about relationship
between FMD response (impaired endothelial response) and blood
parameters in patients with pRP. On the other hand this is the first
report about relationship between impaired endothelial response and
MCP-1 levels in pRP. Our results indicated that patients with pRP have
higher impaired endothelial to ischemia. The incremental levels of serum
WBC, MPV, MCP-1 and fibrinogen values were detected in pRP group.
Moreover, moderate direct correlation was found between abnormal FMD
response and serum MCP-1 values.
