The proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) was stimulated by co-incubation with macrophages. Further stimulation was observed when co-incubated macrophages were supplied with LDL or cholesterol. However, the stimulation of VSMC proliferation did not result from co-incubation with macro

## Abstract Resistin and endothelin‐1 (ET‐1) are upregulated in people with type II diabetes mellitus, central obesity, and hypertension. ET‐1 signaling is involved in Ca^2+^‐contraction coupling and related to blood pressure regulation. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of resistin
Vascular smooth muscle cells of rabbit aorta were enzymatically dispersed, kept in primary culture, and studied between days 1 and 7 in a bath rinsed with Ringer-like solution at 37 degrees C. The electrical membrane potential difference (PD) was measured with microelectrodes. The mean value of PD w
