Oxidized low-density lipoprotein induces apoptosis in endothelial progenitor cells by inactivating the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt pathway.

abstract：:In response to stimuli, endothelial cells release arachidonic acid, a lipid precursor of various vasoactive substances. We have investigated the relationships between cytosolic Ca2+ movements and arachidonic acid release in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Histamine, a receptor-dependent agonist, and thapsigarg...
