From: Serum biomarkers VEGF-C and IL-6 are associated with severe human Peripheral Artery Stenosis
PAS patients enhance the number of blood monocytes and serum concentrations of IL-6 and VEGF-C. a The grades of artery stenosis and morphology of soft or hard plaque of PAS patients were analyzed with CT. b Blood was collected from 18 healthy subjects, 23 moderate PAS patients and 20 severe PAS patients. The number of leukocytes, monocytes and lymphocytes were calculated by Blood Cell Counter. c Protein levels of serum IL-6 and VEGF-C from 27 healthy subjects, 31 moderate PAS patients and 22 severe PAS patients were examined with ELISA
