Age Stratification and Impact of Eicosapentaenoic Acid and Docosahexaenoic Acid to Arachidonic Acid Ratios in Ischemic Stroke Patients.

abstract：AIM:Angiotensin (Ang) II-induced abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in apoE-deficient mice has been used as a model of human AAA, but it has been unclear why the progression of AAA continues after stopping the Ang II infusion. The involvement of vascular Ang II-forming enzymes in the progression of AAA was studied. METHO...
