Nicotine modulation of factor VII activating protease (FSAP) expression in human monocytes.

abstract：:In atherosclerotic lesions, matrix metalloproteinases produced by foam cells (macrophages) are thought to increase plaque instability, promote plaque rupture, by degradating extracellular matrix. To investigate the relationship between the expression of these proteinases and the histologic appearance of atheromas, imm...
