Methods Balloonangioplasty was performed in 16 atherosclerotic New Zealand white rabbits. Experimental animals (n=8) receivingcaptopril 12.5mg/(kg· d) /from 7d before to 28d after balloon angioplasty were compared to controls (n=8). Fourweeks after balloon angioplasty, iliac arteries were isolated for flow cytometric assay and morphometric analysis.Results Flow cytometric assay indicated that the numbers of vascular wall cell cycle in S,G2 and M phases weresignificantly less in coptopril - treated group than those in control (P<0.01), but the numbers of vascular wall cellcycle in G0 and G1 phases were more than those in control (P<0.05). Morphometric analysis showed that thethickness of vascular wall was significantly less in captopril- treated group than control animals. Conclusion Our data suggested that in rabbits the vascular proliferation response after balloonangioplasty may be reduced by early treatment with captopril.展开更多
