Circulating Anti-Beta2-Glycoprotein I Antibodies Are Associated with Endothelial Dysfunction, Inflammation, and High Nitrite Plasma Levels in Patients with Intermittent Claudication
Figure 5
(A) Circulating anti-beta2-glycoprotein antibodies (ABGPI) titer was associated with flow-mediated arterial dilatation (FMAD) values (). (B) Circulating ABGPI titer was associated with C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels (). (C) hsCRP levels were correlated with FMAD values (). (D) Circulating ABGPI titer was associated with nitrite plasma levels (). (E) We found a trend towards a correlation between nitrite plasma levels and FMAD ().
