OBJECTIVES: Recent studies have revealed an association between coronary risk factors and both the number and function of bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cell (EPC). We investigated the effect of angiotensin II (Ang II) on EPC senescence, leading to the impairment of proliferative activit... View More
