  1. *p < 0.05 for comparison of non-smokers with smokers; values are mean ± SD; CD34+ = progenitor cells positive for haematopoietic stem cell marker CD34; CD34+/CD133+ = progenitor cells positive for hematopoietic stem cell markers CD34 and CD133; EPC-CFU = endothelial progenitor cells analyzed by in vitro formation of colony forming unit; FMD = flow-mediated dilation; NMD = nitro-mediated dilation
