Angiology
Researchers describe findings in angiology studies
April 21st, 2006
Angiology research advances have been reported from Italy and the United States. Study 1: Study data suggest that homocysteine is directly involved in mechanisms leading to remodeling and instabilization of atherosclerotic plaques. Investigators working in Italy recently report, "In this study we aimed to test the hypothesis that in human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) homocysteine influences synthesis and release of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), which is deeply involved in vascular remodeling and atherosclerotic plaque instabilization. Experiments were carried out in cultured human VSMC exposed to 50-500 mcmol/l homocysteine after a...
