introduction there is an agreement that eating disorder is related to psychological characteristics and on the other hand, level of ghrelin hormone, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (icam-1) and e-selection also change during eating disorders. we aimed to study the relationship between eating disorders and rest levels, icam-1, e-selection, and ghrelin hormone in obese people. materials and met...

to investigate the effect of vitamin e supplementation on the response of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (icam-1) to exhaustive exercise, 16 active men were selected and divided into supplementation and placebo groups based on vo2max. the subjects in each group completed 65 minutes of exhaustive exercise after14 days of supplementation. blood samples were collected before supplementation and...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Neutrophil extravasation from the blood into tissues is initiated by tethering and rolling of neutrophils on endothelial cells, followed by neutrophil integrin activation and shear resistant arrest, crawling, diapedesis and breaching the endothelial basement membrane harbouring pericytes. Endothelial intercellular cell adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 and ICAM-2, in conjunction with...

We have characterized the immunobiology of the interaction of intercellular adhesion molecule 3 (ICAM-3; CD50) with its counter-receptor, leukocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1; CD11a/CD18). Purified ICAM-3 supported LFA-1-dependent adhesion in a temperature- and cation-dependent manner. Activation of cells bearing LFA-1 increased adhesiveness for ICAM-3 in parallel to adhesiveness for ...

We have studied the cytoskeletal association of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1, CD54), an integral membrane protein that functions as a counterreceptor for leukocyte integrins (CD11/CD18). A linkage between ICAM-1 and cytoskeletal elements was suggested by studies showing a different ICAM-1 staining pattern for COS cells transfected with wild-type ICAM-1 or with an ICAM-1 construct t...

ICAM-1 and -2 are integrin-binding Ig superfamily adhesion molecules that are important for leukocyte transmigration across endothelial monolayers. ICAM-1 cross-linking is known to activate the small GTPase RhoA and induce stress fiber formation in endothelial cells, but ICAM-2 signaling has not been investigated. In this study, we compare ICAM-1 and ICAM-2 signaling and localization in HUVECs....
