After cardiovascular intervention, smooth muscle cells (SMC) are directly exposed to blood flow and thus their behavior might be affected by fluid hemodynamic forces. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of fluid shear stress on the growth rate of SMC. Human aortic smooth muscle cells (
We previously reported that pertussis toxin (PTX) had little effect on arginine vasopressin-induced formation of inositol trisphosphate (IP3) in rat aortic smooth muscle cells [Kondo et al.: Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 161 :677-682, 19891. In the present study, we investigate
## Abstract Inflammation plays an essential role in atherosclerosis and postβangioplasty restenosis and the synthesis and release of inflammatory cytokines from vascular smooth muscle cells is an important contributor to these pathologies. It is assumed that drugs that prevent the overproduction of
## Abstract Salvianolic acid B (Sal B), a waterβsoluble antioxidant derived from a Chinese medicinal herb, is believed to have multiple therapeutic and preventive against human vascular diseases, including atherosclerosis and restenosis. To elucidate the underlying cellular mechanisms, we produced
