## Abstract To dissect the effect of hyperinsulinemia versus hyperglycemia on TNFβrelated apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) expression in the macrovascular district, we measured TRAIL mRNA and protein in four groups of animals: streptozotocin (SZT)βinduced diabetic rats, vehicleβtreated control ani

Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) hyperplasia plays a central role in chronic and acute vascular pathology including arteriosclerosis and restenosis following vascular surgery. The glycosaminoglycans of the heparan sulfate class, including heparin, inhibit VSMC proliferation in animals and in cultu
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) has been typically considered to be an endothelial-specific growth factor. However, it was recently demonstrated that VEGF can interact with non endothelial cells. In this study, we tested whether vascular smooth muscles cells (VSMCs) can express VEGF recept
## Abstract Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) hyperplasia is responsible for the failure of 15β30% of vascular surgical procedures such as coronary artery bypass grafts and angioplasties. We and others have shown that heparin suppresses VSMC proliferation in vivo and in cell culture. We hypothesiz
## Abstract Restenosis may develop in response to cytokine activation and smooth muscle cell proliferation. __Ginkgo biloba__ extract (EGb) has been used to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In the present study, the effects of EGb on the growth of cultured vascular smooth muscle c
Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) is a secreted member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family of heparin-binding proteins. Studies reported to date indicate that it functions primarily as an important paracrine mediator of epithelial cell growth and differentiation. KGF appears to act via bindi
