Knockout of Low Molecular Weight FGF2 Attenuates Atherosclerosis by Reducing Macrophage Infiltration and Oxidative Stress in Mice
Background/Aims: Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) plays a predominant role during angiogenesis in the adventitia and in atherosclerotic plaque. A dilemma exists, however, as to whether angiogenic stimulation by FGF2 for the prevention and treatment of atherogenesis is feasible. The aim of this stud...
