Popis: BACKGROUND Resistant hypertension (RHTN) and target organ damage are linked to increased inflammatory biomarkers, which may regulate adhesion molecules, such as intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1); vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1); and the platelet (P-selectin) and endothelial (E-selectin) selectins. We investigated a previously unknown relationship between soluble P-selectin (sP-selectin), E-selectin (sE-selectin), ICAM-1 (sICAM-1) and VCAM-1 (sVCAM-1) with RHTN and target organ damage. METHODS AND RESULTS We included 110 subjects diagnosed for true RHTN and 112 mild-moderate hypertensive (HTN) patients. Blood pressure parameters, pulse wave velocity and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) were measured. Adhesion molecules were measured on ELISA. Both sP-selectin and sE-selectin were increased; in contrast, sICAM-1 was reduced in RHTN compared with HTN patients, while similar sVCAM-1 was noted in the groups. sP-selectin and sVCAM-1 were elevated in the presence of arterial stiffness (sP-selectin: 104±47 vs. 89±45 ng/ml, P
