Pattern of angiogenic cytokine release from human vascular smooth muscle cells programmed by amino acid deprivation.

abstract：:Prostaglandins (PGs), the arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites of the cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway, and the cytokine TNFalpha play major roles in inflammation and they are synthesised mainly by macrophages. Their syntheses have been shown to be regulated by several factors, including nitric oxide, a further important mac...
