Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine whether heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) from the normal arterial wall inhibit neointimal formation after injury in vivo and smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotype change and proliferation in vitro. METHODS: Arterial HSPGs were extracted from rabbi...
