The differential contribution of monocyte subsets expressing the C-C chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) to subclinical atherosclerosis in girls and boys is unclear. In this pilot study, we compared classical, intermediate, nonclassical CCR2 33 obese children both sexes aged 8 16 divided by carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), considering values above 75th percentile (p75) as abnormally high IMT. Obesity was defined body mass index 95th according age sex. Flow cytometry analyses revealed that but...
