Abstract

Expressions of cellular adhesion molecules (CAMs) are closely related to the formation of early atherosclerosis, an age-dependent vascular disorder. However. previous research provided only limited and conflicted reports on age-related alterations of CAMs' expressions and even much less is known the modulation of CAMs by calorie restriction (CR), In this study, expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), E-selectin, P-selectin and platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) in aorta and kidney were investigated by western blot and immuno-histochemical stain utilizing ad libitum (AL) and CR rat.
