Abstract excerpt
To investigate a potential molecular basis for a link between diabetes and atherosclerosis, experiments were performed to determine the role of NADPH oxidase in the enhanced proliferative capacity of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) from OLETF rat, an animal model of type 2 diabetes. An enhanced proliferative response to 10% fetal bovine serum with an increased cell cycle progression from G1 to S phase as well...
