Glucocorticoid metabolism and the vascular response to injury

In order to study the influence of glucocorticoids on vascular lesion formation, a model of intra-luminal, wire-induced vascular injury in the mouse femoral artery was developed. This model caused extensive stretching of the arterial wall and denudation of the endothelium, followed by the time-depen...
