VDR‐mediated gene expression patterns in resting human coronary artery smooth muscle cells
17 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
Vitamin D analogs such as paricalcitol and calcitriol that activate the vitamin D receptor (VDR) provide survival benefit for Stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, possibly associated with a decrease in cardiovascular (CV)-related incidents. Phenotypic changes of smooth muscle cells play an important role in CV disease. The role of vitamin D analogs in modulating gene expression in smooth muscle cells is...
