Impact of age and gender interaction on circulating endothelial progenitor cells in healthy subjects [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
OBJECTIVE: To assess the level of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (CEPC) in cycling women compared with men and menopausal women. DESIGN: Controlled clinical study. SETTING: Healthy, nonsmoking volunteers. PATIENT(S): Twelve women, aged 18-40 years, with regular menstrual cycles, 12 menopausal women, and two groups of 12 age-matched men were recruited. Women did not receive any hormone therapy. INTERVENTION(S): Collection of 20 mL of peripheral blood. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): The number of CEPC, defined as (Lin-/7AAD-/CD34+/CD133+/KDR+) cells per 10(6) mononuclear cells (MNC), was measured by flow cytometry. RESULT(S): The number of CEPC was significantly higher in cycling women than in age-matched men and menopausal women (26.5 per 10(6) MNC vs. 10.5 per 10(6) MNC vs. 10 per 10(6) MNC, respectively). The number of CEPC was similar in menopausal women, age-matched, and young men. CONCLUSION(S): The number of CEPC is influenced by an age-gender interaction. This phenomenon may explain in part the better vascular repair and relative cardiovascular protection in younger women as compared with age-matched men.
