Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Endothelial outgrowth cells (EOC) decrease inflammation and improve endothelial repair. Inflammation aggravates kidney injury in renal artery stenosis (RAS), and may account for its persistence upon revascularization. We hypothesized that EOC would decrease inflammatory (M1) macrophages and improve renal recovery in RAS. APPROACH AND RESULTS: Pigs with 10 weeks of RAS were studied 4 weeks after...
