ACE-inhibition promotes apoptosis after balloon injury of rat carotid arteries.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Cholinergic vasodilation has been thought to play little if any role in the regulation of blood pressure in humans. Autonomic denervation potentiates the vasoconstriction evoked by nitric oxide synthase inhibition in humans, but the mechanism is unclear. We hypothesized that this may be related to loss of neu...
