title: [The effect of synthetic fragment 65-76 of monocyte chemiattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) on neointima growth after carotid artery balloon injury in rats].
abstract: Influence of synthetic fragment 65-76 of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) (peptide X) on development of neointima after balloon injury of carotid artery was investigated. Peptide X was introduced intramuscularly, 33 pg/kg, daily during 28 days after balloon injury. In days 4 and 7 after intervention, in animals receiving peptide X in comparison with control animals a substantial decrease of neointimal growth was observed. On 14 and 28 days there, was no significant difference in neointima development in rats with and without peptide treatment. Injections of peptide X did not after the C-reactive protein concentration, leukocyte number and lymphocyte subpopulations in peripheral blood. Peptide X treatment along with traditional therapy may be effective in preventing restenosis after angioplasty.
