| Abstract;We examed soluble interleukin-2 receptor (slL-2 R) and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-l (sICAM-1) in venous blood from healthy subjects. slL-2 R and sICAM-1 are correlated with age (r=0.207, n=174, p=0.0064 and r=0.248, n=126, p=0.0065, respectively). Both factors had significantly higher levels in males than in females (p<0.007). There was statistically significant correlation between sIL-2R and sICAM-1. Changes in serum slL-2 R and sICAM-1 levels with aging and increased levels in men may be related to the developement of atherosclerosis. (author abst.) |
