Clinical trials: Cardiovascular Function
Atherosclerosis, Coronary Disease
Study of the Interaction Between the Cells Lining Blood Vessels and Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme
The walls of blood vessels are lined by flat cells that are responsible for releasing substance(s) that control the activity of the blood vessel. These cells are referred to as the endothelium of the blood vessel.
