Local Expression of C-Type Natriuretic Peptide Suppresses Inflammation, Eliminates Shear Stress–Induced Thrombosis, and Prevents Neointima Formation Through Enhanced Nitric Oxide Production in Rabbit Injured Carotid Arteries

Abstract
We previously observed that adenovirus-mediated expression of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) markedly inhibits neointima formation after balloon injury in rat carotid arteries, suggesting that CN...
