Neointimal formation is exacerbated following vascular injury in p22phox overexpressing transgenic mice

Abstract: These studies tested the hypothesis that transgenic mice overexpressing the p22phox subunit of the NAD(P)H oxidase selectively in smooth muscle (Tgp22smc) would exhibit exacerbated neointimal formation following mechanically induced transluminal vascular injury compared to wild‐type control mice. Tgp22smc mice have a two‐fold increase in p22phox expression and H2O2 production; thus providing a model to examine the effects of elevated vascular ROS production on VSMC function in vivo. To induce vascular injury, … Show more
