Abstract excerpt
Recent studies on cultured aortic endothelial cells (AECs) from atherosclerosis-susceptible (SUS) and -resistant (RES) strains of Japanese quail suggest that differences in atherosclerosis susceptibility between RES and SUS may be due to differences in endothelial heme oxygenase (HO) and antioxidant components. We have now investigated the effects of oxidant-induced injury on HO and glutathione (GSH) in AECs from...
