CCL2 and stroke disorder: More specifically, there was no difference in MCP-1 levels between cardioembolic and non-cardioembolic strokes (390 vs. 394 pg/mL, p = 0.707), but MCP-1 levels were higher in lacunar strokes compared to non-lacunar strokes, although this difference did not reach statistical significance (483 vs. 377 pg/mL, p = 0.061).
