PG - 67-74 LID - 10.1111/jch.12868 [doi] AB - To better understand hypertension development, the authors determined whether monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is associated with arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity [PWV]) and carotid intima-media wall thickness (cIMT) in a young apparently healthy black and white population (N=403, aged 20-30 years). Carotid-femoral PWV, central systolic blood pressure, and cIMT were measured, and MCP-1, reactive oxygen species, inflammatory markers (interleukin 6, tumor necrosis factor alpha), and endothelial activation (intercellular adhesion molecule, vascular cell adhesion molecule) were determined from blood samples. Although carotid-femoral PWV and cIMT were similar between blacks and whites, black men and women showed higher central systolic blood pressure, MCP-1, and reactive oxygen species than whites (all P<.05). In addition, black women had higher brachial blood pressure and interleukin 6 (all P<.001). A consistent positive association only in black women between cIMT and MCP-1 in multiple regression analyses was found (R(2)=0.151, beta=0.248; P=.021). In this model, cIMT was also independently associated with vascular cell adhesion molecule (beta=0.251; P=.022). The authors found elevated central systolic blood pressure and MCP-1 in young blacks, where cIMT was independently associated with MCP-1 in black women. CI - (c)2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
