STUDY OF SERUM E- SELECTIN LEVELS IN CARDIOVASCULAR DISORDERS IN UDUPI DISTRICT

Objective: To correlate the known pro-atherogenic risk factors like low HDL levels with E-selectin levels in angiogenesis and cardiovascular disease, and to see if E-selectin levels in blood can be used along with other parameters to screen for risk of CVDs.

Description
Summary:Objective: To correlate the known pro-atherogenic risk factors like low HDL levels with E-selectin levels in angiogenesis and cardiovascular disease, and to see if E-selectin levels in blood can be used along with other parameters to screen for risk of CVDs. Methods: Serum samples of subjects between the ages of 50-60 with CVD were chosen randomly on the basis of hs- Troponin- t levels and were divided into 3 groups of 15 each. The Abnova human SE- selectin immunoassaya four and a half hour solid phase ELISA was used to measure SE- selectin in serum samples. CK, CKMB- mass, hs- Troponin- t and HDL were analysed using auto analyser-Cobas 6000. Result: E-selectin showed a negative correlation with hs-Troponint in Group 2. There was a negative correlation between hs- Troponin- t, E-selectin and HDL in group 3. Conclusion: There does not appear to be any role for E-selectin as a marker in the studied population according to the present study. The fact that E- selectin has genetic polymorphism may explain the lack of significant difference in E-selectin levels.
