From: Deficiency of neuropeptide Y attenuates neointima formation after vascular injury in mice
mRNA expression of several inflammatory markers and cell adhesion molecules in carotid arteries 21days after injury. The mRNA expression levels of IL-6 (b), TGF-β1 (c), and ICAM-1(d) were significantly decreased in NPY−/− mice compared to those in WT mice. The expression of IL-1β and VCAM-1 mRNA in injured carotid artery of NPY−/− mice tended to decrease (a, e). Values are mean ± SEM (n = 10), *p < 0.05
