Endothelin‐1 serum levels correlate with MCP‐1 but not with homocysteine plasma concentration in patients with systemic sclerosis

Abstract

In SSc, Hcy plasma concentration does not influence ET-1, MCP-1, or MCP-3 levels. On the contrary, ET-1, a marker of vascular activation, correlates with MCP-1, a chemokine involved in the fibrotic process of SSc.
