Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>We aim to explore the impact of Proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 (PCSK9) and its inhibitor evolocumab on neointimal hyperplasia. Wild type and PCSK9 knockout (PCSK9-/-) mice were subjected to ligation of the common carotid artery, with or without subcutaneous injection of PCSK9i Evolocumab. Mouse aortic vascular smooth muscle (MOVAS) cells were pretreated with evolocumab or...
