pubmed:abstractText |
Transforming growth factor-beta(1) (TGF-beta(1)) contributes to arterial remodeling by stimulating vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) growth and collagen synthesis at sites of vascular injury. Because L-arginine is metabolized to growth-stimulatory polyamines and to the essential collagen precursor L-proline, we examined whether TGF-beta(1) regulates the transcellular transport and metabolism of L-arginine by VSMCs.
