Suppressive effects of irbesartan on inflammation and apoptosis in atherosclerotic plaques of apoE-/- mice: molecular imaging with 14C-FDG and 99mTc-annexin A5.

To investigate the effects of irbesartan on inflammation and apoptosis in atherosclerotic plaques by histochemical examination and molecular imaging using (14)C-FDG and (99m)Tc-annexin A5.Irbesartan has a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) activation property in addition to its...
