ABSTRACT The Bogalusa Heart Study, a long-term population study with a continued
relationship with a community, addresses the problem of capacity building in minority health …

To appreciate the role of the arterial smooth muscle cell in atherosclerosis, it is necessary to
know something about the structure of normal arteries. Normal arteries are composed of …

The changes in levels of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) of the intima and media of the human
artery in atherosclerosis were determined by a recently introduced two-dimensional …

Arterial glycosaminoglycans are considered to be important in atherogenesis due to their
ability to trap lipid inside the vessel wall and to influence cellular migration and proliferation …

Proteoglycans were identified and localized histochemically and ultrastructurally in normal
and hyperplastic arterial intimas in nonhuman primates (Macaca nemestrina). These regions …

Lipoprotein-acid mucopolysaccharide complexes occurring in different types of human
atherosclerotic lesions were isolated and partially characterized. Complexes from fatty …

Publisher Summary The chapter illustrates the importance of glycosaminoglycans and
proteoglycans for a better understanding of the processes of health and disease of a man …

Glycosaminoglycan synthesis and secretion by primate arterial smooth muscle have been
examined in cell culture. Mass cultures of diploid primate arterial smooth muscle cells were …

Evidence is presented for the presence of lipoprotein-mucopolysaccharide (MPS)
complexes in fatty streaks. The complexes were extracted from fatty streaks of human aortas …

Water and glycosaminoglycan contents were measured in upper and lower thoracic aortas
of calves and steers. The ability of various molarities of guanidine hydrochloride to extract …
