Selective inhibition of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 expression by verapamil in human vascular endothelial cells.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Apoptosis is a well-documented pathway for islet cell death. One potential mechanism is overexpression of death-promoting Bax compared with antiapoptotic Bcl-2 in islets. METHODS:We isolated islets from 10 human pancreata and measured the expression of Bax mRNA and Bcl-2 mRNA by real-time quantitative polym...
