The binding, internalization, and metabolism of 13H]-heparin by human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and human umbilical arterial smooth muscle cells (HUASMC) have been characterized using 5ize-exclusion HPLC. Incubation of HUVEC with ['HI-heparin demonstrated selective binding of high-mol

## Abstract Lead (Pb^2+^) has been implicated in the development of hypertension and atherosclerosis. The proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) is a central feature of both conditions and there is evidence that Pb^2+^ potentiates serumβdependent cell growth. The aim of this work was
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 Previous work from our laboratory has shown that heparin inhibits the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells in vivo and in vitro. The mechanism of action of this glycosaminoglycan is unknown. In this communication, we have examined the antiproliferative effect of heparin on smoo
