The Urotensin II System And Carotid Atherosclerosis: A Role In Vascular Calcification
Background and aims: The aims of the present study were to determine the expression of urotensin II (UII), urotensin-II related peptide (URP) and their receptor (UT) in stable and unstable carotid atherosclerosis, and determine the effects of UII on human aortic smooth muscle cell (SMCs) calcificati...
