Abstract excerpt
Inducible NO synthase (iNOS) present in human atherosclerotic plaques could contribute to the inflammatory process of plaque development. The role of iNOS in atherosclerosis was tested directly by evaluating the development of lesions in atherosclerosis-susceptible apolipoprotein E (apoE)-/- mice that were also deficient in iNOS. ApoE-/- and iNOS-/- mice were cross-bred to produce apoE-/-/iNOS-/- mice and...
