Abstract excerpt
Although heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) has been implicated in protection against atherogenesis, its role in vulnerable plaques remains to be fully elucidated. This study was aimed to explore the effect of HO-1 on the progression and stabilization of vulnerable plaques and the possible mechanism. We established a vulnerable plaque model by local transfection with recombinant p53 adenovirus to plaques in rabbits fed a...
