Circulating Endothelial Microparticles and Correlation of Serum 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D with Adiponectin, Nonesterified Fatty Acids, and Glycerol from Middle-Aged Men in China

Figure 1

Circulating CD62E+ and CD31+/CD42b− EMPs levels among groups. Circulating EMPs were measured in platelet poor plasma by flow cytometry with fluorochrome labeled antibodies specific for PE-CD42b, FITC-CD31, and APC-CD62E. EMPs were identified as CD62E+ and CD31+/CD42b− events with a diameter <1 μM. There is no difference for circulating CD62E+ (a) and CD31+/CD42b− EMPs (c) among the 3 groups. Representative fluorescence-activated cell sorter dot plots of CD62E+ and CD31+/CD42b− EMPs from lean, overweight, and obese group were shown in (b) and (d), respectively. Data are presented as mean ± SEM ().
