Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The phenotype switching of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) plays a key role during development and progression of vascular remodeling diseases. Recent studies show that GLP-1 can inhibit intima thickening to delay the progression of atherosclerotic plaques. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of Exendin-4, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, in VSMCs phenotype switching and the...
