OBJECTIVE: Oxidative stress plays a critical role in the development of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Intermedin (IMD) is a regulator of oxidative stress. Here, we investigated whether IMD reduces AAA by inhibiting oxidative stress. APPROACH AND RESULTS: In angiotensin II-induced ApoE-/- mouse and CaCl2-induced C57BL/6J mouse model of AAA, IMD1-53 significantly reduced the incidence of AAA and maximal aortic...
