Expression of constitutive and inducible nitric oxide synthases in the vascular wall of young and aging rats.

abstract：RATIONALE:Nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) is importantly implicated in pathological cardiac remodeling and vascular lesion formation. NFAT functionality is mainly regulated by calcineurin, a Ca(2+)-dependent multi-effector phosphatase. Calcineurin inhibitors such as cyclosporine A (CsA) were shown to be effe...
