Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the migration of monocytes stimulated by monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1 / CCL-2) in resistant hypertensive and controlled hypertensive subjects. The migration of monocytes will be determined by in vitro chemotaxis technique and plasma levels of MCP-1/CCL2 by immunoassay. Arterial stiffness will be determined by measuring the pulse wave velocity (PWV) and…
