Hypercholesterolemia suppresses inwardly rectifying K+ channels in aortic endothelium in vitro and in vivo.

abstract：:Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and, in particular, MMP-9 are important for smooth muscle cell (SMC) migration into the intima. In this study, we sought to determine whether MMP-9 is critical for SMC migration and for the formation of a neointima by using mice in which the gene was deleted (MMP-9(-/-) mice). A denudi...
