## Abstract Collagen deposition is an important process that occurs during wound healing. We and others have shown that nitric oxide (NO) is important in tendon healing. The mechanisms whereby healing is enhanced are, however, undetermined. The aim of this study was to investigate whether NO could

## Abstract Glucose fluctuations are strong predictor of diabetic vascular complications. We explored the effects of constant and intermittent high glucose on the proliferation and collagen synthesis of cultured rat mesangial cells. Furthermore, the possible involvement of osteopontin (OPN) was ass
## models of liver fibrosis indicate that portal fibroblasts might During the course of liver fibrogenesis, myofibroblast-like also contribute to MFLC. 6,7 In the course of fibrogenesis, cells (MFLC), mostly derived from hepatic stellate cells, pro-MFLC proliferate 2,3 and synthesize most extracel
In an attempt to identify the mechanisms underlying the ill effects of high glucose previously described in cultured human endothelial cells, we have investigated in these cells the activity of the polyol pathway and accumulation of glucose 6-phosphate, a powerful agent of non-enzymatic glycosylatio
