Glucose transport in response to angiotensin II (AII) was assessed in cultured vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells by measuring the uptake of [ 3 H]-2-deoxyglucose, a radiolabeled non-metabolizable glucose analog. Significant stimulation occurred by 2 hr of exposure with the maximum effect being obse
In this study, we investigated the effect of the extracellular matrix (ECM) secreted by vascular cells on proteoglycan (PG) synthesis by vascular smooth muscle cells in culture.

Both cell-matrix and cell-cell interactions are important regulators of the function of most human cells. In this study we investigated how these interactions controlled the production of vasodilators nitric oxide (NO), and prostacyclin (PGI 2 ), in freshly isolated human umbilical vein endothelial
