Circulating CD62P small microparticles levels are increased in hypertension

Int J Clin Exp Pathol. 2014 Jul 15;7(8):5324-6. eCollection 2014.

Abstract

The study aims to find a new biomarker in hypertension. Our study is the first time to demonstrate that the CD62P small microparticle (diameter is <0.5 um) was a new microparticle population and a new biomarker in hypertension.

Keywords: Small microparticle; hypertension.
