Abstract excerpt
Smooth muscle cells of the rabbit aorta, when grown in vitro, express three distinguishable forms of phenotype (contractile, reversible synthetic, and irreversible synthetic). We compared the interactions of these three smooth muscle phenotypes with rabbit very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), and very low density lipoprotein from cholesterol-fed rabbits (beta-VLDL). beta-VLDL showed...
