## Abstract We have shown previously that nitricβoxide (NO) can induce apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and that the NOβinduced apoptosis is accompanied by an increase in arachidonic acid release via cytoplasmic Ca^2+^βdependent phospholipase A~2~ (cPLA~2~). We have evidence that d

## Abstract Apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) has recently drawn a lot of interest in various laboratories due to its importance in atherogenesis. We have shown previously that nitricβoxide (NO) can induce apoptosis of VSMCs and that the NOβinduced apoptosis is accompanied by an inc
## Abstract The role of eicosanoids in atherogenesis has not been thouroughly explained. This is partly due to the numerous eicosanoids and the variable effects that each has on different systems. Apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells has been shown to play a role in the atherosclerotic disease
## Abstract Apoptosis has been shown to occur in vascular smooth muscle cells during the development of atherosclerosis. In order to investigate the possible role of arachidonic acid during apoptosis in vascular smooth muscle, we induced apoptosis in cultured rat aortal smooth muscle cells (SMCs) b
