Hyperglycemia does not affect tissue repair responses in shear stress-induced atherosclerotic plaques in ApoE−/− mice

Abstract The mechanisms responsible for macrovascular complications in diabetes remain to be fully understood. Recent studies have identified impaired vascular repair as a possible cause of plaque vulnerability in diabetes. This notion is supported by observations of a reduced content of fibrous pro...
