Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We examined the inhibitory effects of traditional Chinese formulations (TCFs: Kampo formulation in Japanese) on intimal thickening of the carotid artery injured by balloon endothelial denudation in rats. Among the eight TCFs examined oren-gedoku-to (huanglian-jiedu-tang in Chinese), choto-san (diao-teng-san), saiko-ka-ryukotsu-borei-to (chaihujia-longgu-muli-tang) and dai-joki-to (da-cheng-qi-tang) significantly inhibited the intimal thickening 7 days after denudation. These four TCFs also inhibited proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), which may play a central role in the development of restenosis after balloon endothelial denudation. The present results suggest that further evaluation of these four TCFs as inhibitors of VSMC proliferation to prevent arteriosclerosis is warranted.
