Imbalance between endothelial damage and repair capacity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Imbalance between endothelial damage and repair capacity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Circulating endothelial microparticles (EMPs) and progenitor cells (PCs) are biological markers of endothelial function and endogenous repair capacity. The study was aimed to investigate whether COPD patients have an imbalance between EMPs to PCs compared to controls and to evaluate the effect of ci...
