In support of this view, several recent studies have shown that VEGF is enriched in human atherosclerotic lesions [47,48], Smooth muscle ceils and macrophages appear to be the predominant sources of VEGF in such lesions. Thus, a mechanism in which hypoxia induces VEGF and hyperpermeability is plausible, but at the present time it must only be considered a hypothesis relating fluid phase transport limitation and enhanced macromolecular permeability.

The gut contains a collection of nerves called the enteric nervous system. Various activities of the gut, such as peristaltic contractions, and certain activities of the pancreas and gall bladder, are controlled in a manner that is relatively independent of the central nervous system. The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. Five type,s of activity are controlled by the enteric nervous system (1) contraction of smooth muscles that create the peristaltic waves used to mix and propel food through the intestines (2) release of juices by secretory cells (5) release of hormones from endocrine ceils of the gut (4) patterns of blood flow through the arteries of the gut (variations in blood flow occur because of the opening of blood vessels (vasodilation) or the dosing of blood vessels (vasoconstriction)] and (5) activities of immune cells of the gut (GoyaI and Hirano, 1996). 

Continued uptake by phagocytes that reside by the endothelial cells of the cor v nary artery results in their conversion to foam ceils, in the invasion of smooth muscle cells, and in eventual narrowing of the lumen of the artery. Evidence suggests that the vitamin E (ct-tocopherol) present in LDLs serves to delay the onset of damage to apo B, and give it time to be eventually taken up by the LDL receptor in hepatocytes of the liver This part of the scenario is shown in the following diagram ... 

Lissman [ 1 ] investigated the mechanics of snail s locomotion, especially the pedal wave motion. Tmeman examined the relationship between mucus and muscle of snail [2]. Deimy also examined the role of mucus [3]. Ikeuchi et al. tried to model movement mechanics on mucus [4]. However, the locomotion mechanism and the reason why snails can move extremely smoothly not only on the horizontal substratum but also on a wall and even on a ceiling in reverse state is still not clear.
