Profile of Leukocyte-Endothelial Cell Interactions Induced in Venules and Arterioles by Nucleoside Reverse-Transcriptase Inhibitors In Vivo
1 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: There is controversy regarding cardiovascular (CV) toxicity of the nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors used to treat human immunodeficiency virus infection. METHODS: We evaluated the effects of nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors on leukocyte-endothelium interactions, a hallmark of CV diseases, in rat mesenteric vessels using intravital microscopy and in human arterial cells using a...
