Pharmacologic inhibition by spironolactone attenuates experimental abdominal aortic aneurysms

BackgroundAbdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are characterized by vascular inflammation and remodeling that can lead to aortic rupture resulting in significant mortality. Pannexin-1 channels on endothelial cells (ECs) can modulate ATP secretion to regulate the pathogenesis of AAA formation. Our hypoth...
