Abstract
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are responsible for endothelial damage repair. Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects large vessels. The aim of the study was to evaluate the number of EPCs and the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and the relationship of these variables in patients with TA.Thirty women with TA and 30 healthy controls were included. EPCs were assessed by flow cytometry and...
