Ox-LDL-induced LOX-1 expression in vascular smooth muscle cells: role of reactive oxygen species.

abstract：:Restenosis after coronary angioplasty, the main limitation of interventional cardiology, remains an unsolved issue. The failure to-date of all pharmacological attempts at prevention has prompted the development of alternative strategies. A mechanistic approach to the problem of restenosis is based on the assumption th...
