Functional consequences of acute collagen degradation studied in crystalloid perfused rat hearts.

abstract：:The pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is a multifactorial process. A possible anti-atherosclerotic drug should therefore interfere with different targets that are important during the development of an atherosclerotic lesion. Two of the early events are the activated migration and proliferation of arterial smooth muscle...
