One of the earliest events in the development of atherosclerosis is the recruitment of inflammatory white blood cells from the blood to the arterial wall by
vascular cell adhesion molecules (42).
Two molecules that are known to increase during inflammatory disease processes —
vascular cell adhesion molecule - 1 (VCAM - 1) and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM - 1)-- have also been shown to decrease in amount following intake of EVOO.
We therefore conducted a cross-sectional analysis to investigate the relations between magnesium intake and plasma concentrations of inflammatory and endothelial biomarkers, including CRP, IL - 6, soluble TNF - α receptor 2 (sTNF - R2), E-selectin, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM - 1), and soluble
vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (sVCAM - 1) in apparently healthy women.
This research has centered on biomarkers of inflammation including interleukin - 6 (IL - 6),
vascular cell adhesion molecule - 1 (VCAM - 1), and lymphocyte function - associated antigen - 1 (LFA - 1).

Established cell lines exhibited several inherent endothelial properties, including the expression of constitutive and inducible levels of endothelial cell adhesion molecules E-selectin, intercellular adhesion molecule - 1, and
vascular cell adhesion molecule - 1, internalization of acetylated low - density lipoprotein, and formation of loop structures on Matrigel surfaces.

In addition to the niacin it supplies, brown rice may also help raise blood levels of nitric oxide, a small molecule known to improve blood vessel dilation and to inhibit oxidative (free radical) damage of cholesterol and the
