Kynurenic acid, an endogenous glutamate antagonist, in SHR and WKY rats: possible role in central blood pressure regulation.

abstract：:1. Heparan sulfate proteoglycan in the basal lamina of smooth muscle cells is important in the maintenance of the 'contractile', high volume fraction of myofilaments (Vvmyo) phenotype. The mechanism by which this occurs may involve the continuous internalization of heparan sulfate by the smooth muscle cells themselves...
