| pubmed-article:18284603 | pubmed:abstractText | Human urotensin II is an 11-aminoacid peptide with a controversial role in the human cardiovascular system. Indeed, urotensin effects on vascular reactivity and in heart failure are well documented, while its potential role in the pathophysiology of athero-thrombosis is still unknown. This study investigates the effects of urotensin on tissue factor (TF) and VCAM-1/ICAM-1 expression in human coronary endothelial cells (HCAECs). | lld:pubmed |
