## Abstract Insulin is known to cause an increase in endothelinβ1 (ETβ1) receptors in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs), but the effect of insulinβlike growth factor 1 (IGFβ1) on ETβ1 receptor expression is not known. We therefore carried out the present study to determine the effect of IGFβ1 on
Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) are upregulated in vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells by cytokines produced at sites of inflammation. The cytokine profile for induction of VCAM-1, however, is different for the two cell types. Tumor
