Abstract excerpt
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are associated with inflammation and vasculature dysfunction. This study aimed to investigate the potential role of the ROS on vascular Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-mediated proinflammatory and proliferative phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). A wire-induced carotid injury model was used in male TLR4-deficient (TLR4(-/-)) and wild-type C57BL/6J mice to induce neointima...
