## Abstract Previous studies have localized osteoblast specific markers to sites of calcified atherosclerotic lesions. We therefore decided to use an established in vitro model of vascular calcification in order to confirm earlier reports of oxidized lowβdensity lipoprotein (oxLDL) promoting the os
Vessels remodel to compensate for increases in blood flow/pressure. The chronic exposure of blood vessels to increased flow and circulatory redox-homocysteine may injure vascular endothelium and disrupt elastic laminae. In order to understand the role of extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation in vas
It has been proposed that low density lipoprotein (LDL) must undergo oxidative modification before it can participate in atherosclerosis. The present paper studied the effect of cholesterol oxidation in LDL on cultured vascular smooth muscle cells. LDL was oxidized by cholesterol oxidase (3-beta-hyd
The effects of oxidized human plasma low density lipoproteins (Ox-LDL) on the proliferation of cultured aortic smooth muscle cells was studied, employing viable cell counting, [3H] thymidine incorporation into DNA, and the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) into the medium. Oxidized LDL (prepare
