Abstract:
AIM: To observe the effect of diammonii glycyrrhizinatis (DG) on collagen synthesis induced by angioplasty in rabbits. METHODS: The right common carotid artery of male rabbits were injured with 3.5F balloon catheter. Four weeks after operation, arterial tissure collagen content, serum procollagen type I(PCI)， procollagen type Ⅲ(PCⅢ) concentration, neointimal thickness and the rate of stenosis were measured.RESULTS: Arterial tissue collagen content, serum PCI, PCⅢ concentration, neointimal thickness and the rate of stenosis of low and high dose DG group is lower than those of injured group.CONCLUSION: DG could inhibit collagen synthesis and neointimal proliferation of rabbits carotid artery induced by angioplasty. It suggests that DG might have clinical potential prespective in prevention and therapy of restenosis.
