OBJECTIVE: We tested the hypothesis that endothelial peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ protects against vascular thrombosis using a transgenic mouse model expressing a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ mutant (E-V290M) selectively in endothelium. APPROACH AND RESULTS: The time to occlusive thrombosis of the carotid artery was significantly shortened in E-V290M mice compared with...
