Zusammenfassung
Ziele: Atherosclerosis and inflammation/angiogenesis are strongly associated including growth of vasa vasorum (VV) and plaque neovascularization, but a causative role for neovascularization has still not been established. Hence, we investigated the effect of 3-Deazaadenosine (c3Ado), an anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative drug, on plaque progression and VV neovascularization in apoE-/-/LDL-/- double knockout mice. Methode: The arterial trees from apoE-/-/LDL-/- mice with, or without c3Ado at the age of 16 (n=10), 18 (n=8) and 20 weeks (n=7) were infused in situ with Microfil, and the aortas harvested and sc…
