Abstract excerpt
The arterial smooth muscle cells (SMC) are the predominant type of cells in atherosclerotic lesions, and their proliferation plays an important role in the process of AS genesis. We established the primary culture and sub-culture method for human arterial SMC and observed the effects of LDL, VLDL, HDL, OX-LDL, OX-VLDL and OX-HDL on the morphological appearance and phenotype of cultured human arterial SMC. The...
