Abstract:Background: The effects of Chinese yellow wine on the production of homocysteine (Hcy) induced intracellular MMP-2 in cultured rats vascular endothelial cells (VECs) has not been investigated. Methods: Isolation, cultivation, purification and identification of vascular endothelial cells of rat thoracic aorta in vitro were conducted. The VECs in passages 3 to 4 were used in all studies. HCY was used to induce VECs to over expressing MMP-2. Cells were divided into 5 groups: Control, Hcy, Hcy+yellow wine, Hcy+red… Show more
