Abstract excerpt
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) bears a high risk of rupture and sudden death of the patient. The pathogenic mechanisms of AAA remain elusive, and surgical intervention represents the only treatment option. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), a heme degrading enzyme, is induced in AAA, both in mice and humans. HO-1 was reported to mitigate AAA development in an angiotensin II (AngII)-induced model of AAA in hyperlipidemic...
