Abstract excerpt
Neointimal hyperplasia is a prominent pathological phenomenon in the process of stent restenosis. Abnormal proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play major pathological processes involved in the development of restenosis. l-Theanine, one of the major amino acid components in green tea, has been reported to improve vascular function. Here we display the effects of l-theanine on...
