One pathway involves secretion of adipokines that stimulate endothelial dysfunction through increased expression of adhesion molecules. However, the relationship of adiposity to adhesion molecules that promote atherosclerosis is largely unknown.<h4>Methods</h4>Linear regression models were used to assess the sex-specific associations of soluble cellular adhesion molecules (sP- and sL-sel ...[more]
