Abstract excerpt
During the atherogenic process in vivo, arterial smooth muscle cells (SMC) undergo changes in their phenotype. In the present study, rat SMC from primary cultures and from subcultures before 10 and after 200 passages, showing contractile-like, synthetic and transformed phenotypes, respectively, were compared in regard to their lipid content and biosynthesis. The rationale for comparing these phenotypes rests in...
