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

<h4>Objectives</h4>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.<h4>Background</h4>Irbesartan has a peroxisome proliferator-activated...
