In 1-day cultures with 10% serum, the number of rat aortic smooth muscle cells (VSMC) adhering to the growth support was similar in cells from both sexes, whereas in 1% serum, the number of VSMC from male donors was lower. In 10% serum medium, the doubling time was significantly shorter and the numb

Vascular smooth muscle cells derived from the rat aorta were cultured on unmodified or F + ion-implanted polystyrene (5 Γ10 12 or 5 Γ10 14 ions/cm 2 , energy 150 keV). In 1-day-old cultures, the cells adhered to the modified polystyrene in higher numbers and over larger contact areas. Increased resi
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for post-menopausal symptoms in diabetes is associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. Therefore, there is a need for new HRT with no adverse effects on diabetic post-menopausal women. We developed peptides as potential estrogen mimetic com
