Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aortic dissection (AD) is a macrovascular disease which is pathologically characterized by aortic media degeneration.This experiment aims to explore how iron deficiency (ID) affects the function of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) and participates in the occurrence and development of AD by regulating gene expression. METHODS: The relationship between iron and AD was proved by Western-blot (WB) and...
