| Popis: | SummaryEpidemiological studies suggest that moderate but not heavy alcohol consumption provides protection against coronary heart disease. We assessed the relationship between alcohol consumption and serum levels of adhesion molecules involved in the pathogenesis of early atherosclerosis. One-hundred apparently healthy men with similar cardiovascular risk factors were divided into four groups according to ethanol intake. Moderate drinkers (20-40 g/day) showed lower serum intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) levels than abstainers (p |
