There was a significant impairment in arterial function (assessed by the brachial cuff-based method via Mobil-O-Graph device) in MS patients compared to controls. Such impairment was significantly correlated with both disease duration and disability. MS patients had also significantly higher levels of T-cholesterol and triglycerides, compared to controls with no significant correlation between serum lipids and either disease duration or disability.
