Plasma Endothelin-1 Levels and Circulating Endothelial Cells in Patients with Aortoarteritis

To investigate the correlation between plasma endothelin-1 (ET-1), circulating endothelial cells (CECs), and the disease activity in patients with aortoarteritis. In this study, radioimmunoassay was used to measure plasma levels of ET-1 in 56 patients with aortoarteritis. Circulating endothelial cel...

Zusammenfassung:	To investigate the correlation between plasma endothelin-1 (ET-1), circulating endothelial cells (CECs), and the disease activity in patients with aortoarteritis. In this study, radioimmunoassay was used to measure plasma levels of ET-1 in 56 patients with aortoarteritis. Circulating endothelial cell counts were also carried out as an indicator of vessel wall lesions. The plasma levels of ET-1 and CECs in the active disease patient group were significantly higher than those in inactive patient group (p
