Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) inhibits neointima formation after vascular injury. Hyperlipidemia modulates the expression of multiple genes, however, and the effects of PAI-1 on the arterial response to injury under hyperlipidemic conditions are unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of PAI-1 on intimal hyperplasia and other vascular changes that develop after...
