Bovine pulmonary aortic endothelial cells

In other studies, we also showed that resveratrol effectively suppressed proliferation of cultured bovine pulmonary aortic endothelial cells (BPAEC). These results imply that resveratrol, delivered to endothelial cells in sufficient concentrations to inhibit proliferation in vivo, could facilitate rapid and efficient repair of damages on the endothelium, with the overall effect of decreasing the probability of sustained endothelial injury and exposure of the subendothelial matrix, which would trigger the formation of atherosclerotic plaques and the development of... 

MDCK (Madin-Darby canine kidney) cells are derived from distal tubules, whereas LLC-PKi are from proximal tubes. b BMEC (brain microvessel endothelial cells) are isolated from capillaries. BPAEC (bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells), BAEC (bovine aortic endothelial cells), and HUVEC (human umbilical vein endothelial cells) are large vessel endothelia.
