Abstract:Introduction
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
phosphate (NADPH) oxidase enzyme activity may affect the vessel wall and
have a role in development of aortic aneurysms. EPCs originate from
hematopoietic stem cells and can be enumerated from peripheral blood samples
by flow cytometry. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relation of EPC
number and NADPH oxidase enzyme activity in the development of thoracic
aortic aneurysm (TAA).
