  1. Prior to statistical analysis, data for activated glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor, fibrinogen, sE-selectin, sICAM-1 and hsCRP were logarithmic transformed. Data for activated glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor, fibrinogen, PAI-1, sE-selectin, sICAM-1 and hsCRP were analysed using Student t-test while data for D-dimer, ucOC, sP-selectin and sVCAM-1 were analysed using Wilcoxon Signed rank test. Abbreviation: hsCRP: high sensitivity C-reactive protein, PAI-1: plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1, sE-selectin: soluble E-selectin, sICAM-1: soluble intracellular adhesion molecules 1, sP-selectin: soluble P-selectin, sVCAM-1: soluble vascular cellular adhesion molecules 1, ucOC: undercarboxylated osteocalcin.
