Resveratrol modulates systemic and perivascular inflammation in experimental abdominal aortic aneurysm

Description

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is related to chronic mural inflammation in which activation of the Renin-Angiotensin system (RAS), infiltration of mononuclear phagocytes and other leukocytes contribute to proteolytic activity, aortic tissue damage and AAA expansion. Resveratrol is a natural antioxydant polyphenol with vasoprotective properties: in this study we evaluated the effects of Resveratrol on the inflammatory response in an experimental model of elastase-induced AAA
