Neointima stained positive for both -smooth muscle actin and PCNA indicating proliferation of smooth muscle cells possibly mediated by growth factors TGF-β 1 , PDGF-A and PDGF-B, while TUNEL indicated apoptosis in the intimal layer in affected arteries.
She underwent repeated plastic surgeries in order to reduce her breasts, smooth her wrinkles, slim her face (alarmingly, she looks younger in the ninth season of Roseanne than she did in the first).
Caldesmon is likely to play a modulatory role on the production of smooth muscle force via a tethering of actin to myosin [ 11 ] and/or of its effects on the actomyosin ATPase [ 12 13 14 ] . Similarly, TM does not seem to function as a major regulatory protein, but modulatory effects due to its ability to maintain the actin filamentous structure [ 15 ] , to inhibit the Ca 2+-ATPase activity [ 16 ] , alter the cytoskeletal dynamics [ 17 ] and improve actin filament flexibility during the contraction/relaxation cycle [ 18 19 ] have been well documented.
Smooth muscle cells (Figure 5D) located near the inner wall of SC close to its posterior termination were first noted at P14.
Differences in smooth muscle layer thickness, however, do not always satisfactorily explain why in some instances, including stimulation of postganglionic nerve terminals, veins are more responsive than corresponding arteries [ 3 4 5 6 ] . Although differences in the type and amount of neurotransmitters, receptor density and/or sensitivity for neurotransmitter action, or signal transduction mechanisms that couple membrane receptors to the contractile elements have been proposed to underlie the functional distinctions between capacitative and resistive regions of the mesenteric circulation, the possibility that mesenteric artery and vein convey distinct expression levels of contractile proteins has not been ruled out.
