LDL cholesterol, mg/dl	47 ± 8.7	56 ± 3.5
Triglycerides, mg/dl	21 ± 5.2	41 ± 6.1*
CRP, μg/ml	0.15 ± 0.06	0.13 ± 0.04
Endothelin-1, pg/ml	4.7 ± 2.9	15.4 ± 5.2

Interleukin-8, pg/ml	516 ± 72	1,269 ± 331
Interleukin-10, pg/ml	NCR	NCR
MIP-1β, pg/ml	135 ± 11	180 ± 24
PAI-1, ng/ml	10.2 ± 1.2	19.7 ± 5.7
RANTES, ng/ml	1.8 ± 0.3	8.3 ± 3.7
MDC, pg/ml	46 ± 9.3	74 ± 8.8*

Data are means ± SE. CRP, C-reactive protein; MIP, macrophage inflammatory protein-1β; MDC, monocyte-derived chemokine; NCR, non-cross reactive; PAI-1, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1; RANTES, regulated-on-activation normal T cell-expressed and -secreted chemokine;

^*P < 0.05 vs. normal activity. Data are parametric except for CRP, endothelin-1, MIP-1β, PAI-1, and RANTES.
