Figure 1 Inverse correlation of plasma asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and CD34+/CD133+ progenitor cells in patients with coronary artery disease. The ADMA plasma levels (A) and circulating CD34+/CD133+ progenitor cells (B) in patients who underwent coronary angiography. CAD 0 = no coronary artery disease; CAD 1 = one-vessel disease; CAD 2 = two-vessel disease; CAD 3 = three-vessel disease. (C) Correlation between circulating CD34+/CD133+ progenitor cells or endothelial colony-forming units (CFUs) (D) with the concentration of plasma ADMA levels in patients with different severity of coronary artery disease (Table 1).
