eNOS overexpression attenuates murine vascular remodeling; hypothesis-generating for NO-based therapies, with no clinical implications yet.
Does eNOS overexpression prevent neointimal and medial thickening in a mouse model of vascular remodeling?
Absolute Event Rate: 8000% vs 17200%
p-value: p=<0.01
Chronic eNOS overexpression in the endothelium inhibits neointimal formation and medial thickening, providing evidence for the regulatory role of NO on vascular structure integrity.
Kawashima et al. (2001) studied Vascular remodeling. eNOS overexpression (eNOS-transgenic mice) vs. Wild-type mice was evaluated on Neointimal area (microm2) (p=<0.01). Chronic eNOS overexpression in a mouse model significantly reduced neointimal area (8000 vs 17,200 microm2, P<0.01) and medial area (18,400 vs 24,300 microm2, P<0.01) 4 weeks after carotid ligation.
