Abstract excerpt
Clinical and experimental studies showed that estrogen has antiatherogenic effects. We previously demonstrated that the estrogen receptor (ER) mRNA and protein are expressed in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) derived from rat aorta. Here, the expression of isoforms of the ER was examined in VSMC. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction using specific primers for rat ER cDNA was performed from RNA of...
