Abstract excerpt
The aim of the present study was to determine whether sympathectomy could influence the relative expression of two intermediate filament proteins, desmin and vimentin, two markers of differentiation, in arterial smooth muscle cells of the young rat. Newborn rats were treated with either repeated...
