Human and porcine smooth muscle cells share similar proliferation dependence on the mevalonate pathway: implication for in vivo interventions in the porcine model.

abstract：:Basal cyclic AMP levels in blood mononuclear cells from healthy human donors has been studied. A great variation in cyclic AMP content ranging from below 2 to 20 pmol 10(-6) cells was seen. Incubation of the cells at 37 degrees C mostly showed a time-dependent decrease in basal cyclic AMP, levelling off after 16 h. Wh...
