## Abstract Resistin, firstly reported as an adipocyteβspecific hormone, is suggested to be an important link between obesity and diabetes. Recent studies have suggested an association between resistin and atherogenic processes. The adhesion of circulating monocytes to endothelial cells is a critic
Although endothelial cell seeding in smalldiameter vascular prostheses significantly improves graft survival, the detachment of adherent endothelial cells after the restoration of circulation remains one of the major obstacles. Because in vivo experiments indicate that leukocyte infiltration is invo
Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) are constantly subjected to hemodynamic forces that may regulate monocyte-endothelial interaction in vivo. To examine the effects of cyclic strain on endothelial expression of monocyte adhesion molecules, E-selectin, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and va
## Abstract In the peripheral taste system, activated macrophages are recruited to both sides of the tongue after unilateral sectioning of the chorda tympani nerve (CT). Neural degeneration elicits macrophage entry in other systems by upregulating vascular adhesion molecules. We hypothesized that C
