Previous studies have demonstrated impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation
following balloon injury of the rabbit iliac artery, suggesting dysfunction of the regenerated
endothelium. More recently, expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) has
been shown up to 4 weeks in a different injury model of the rabbit aorta, suggesting
sustained inflammatory activation of endothelium following injury. The aim of the present
study was to combine the examination of VCAM-1 expression, as a marker of cellular …
