Serotonin receptor blockade improves distal perfusion after lower limb ischemia in the fatty Zucker rat.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Recently, we have found that rat CMV (RCMV) infected smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in rat carotid arteries when administered 14 days after balloon injury. In the present study we investigated (1) the long term effects of CMV infection on neointimal cross-sectional area, and (2) whether the phenotype of the intim...
