FUNCTIONAL AORTIC STIFFNESS:ROLE OF CD4+ T LYMPHOCYTES

FUNCTIONAL AORTIC STIFFNESS:ROLE OF CD4+ T LYMPHOCYTES

The immune system is suggested to be essential in vascular remodeling and stiffening. To study the dependence upon lymphocytes in vascular stiffening, we compared an angiotensin II-model of vascular stiffening in normal C57BL/6J mice with lymphocyte-deficient RAG 1-/- mice and additionally character...
