Diabetic Hyperglycaemia Protects Smooth Muscle Arterial Cells but Not Macrophages and Endothelial Cells from the Cytotoxic Effects of 7-Ketocholesterol: An In Vitro Study

Issue: 
DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2016.499
Pages: 
483-7
Synopsis: 
In the study reported, macrophages, smooth muscle and endothelial arterial cells were challenged against different concentrations of 7-ketocholesterol in normoglycemic and high glucose conditions.
