Eplerenone inhibits aldosterone-induced CRP generation in rat vascular smooth muscle cells by regulating the MR-ROS-ERK1/2 signal pathway

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in the vessel wall. As a representative inflammatory cytokine, C-reactive protein (CRP) participates in the formation and development of atherosclerosis. It is demonstrated that aldosterone induces CRP generation in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC...
