Abstract excerpt
Transgenic mice with endothelium-specific endothelin-1 (ET-1) overexpression exhibit endothelial dysfunction and vascular remodeling, oxidative stress, and inflammation. We previously observed that monocytes/macrophages play a role in angiotensin II, aldosterone, and deoxycorticosterone acetate/salt-induced vascular remodeling, oxidative stress, and inflammation using a model with reduced monocytes/macrophages,...
