Cigarette smoking, a major independent risk factor of atherosclerosis, can cause oxidative and inflammatory damage vascular tissue. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is an endogenous cytoprotective enzyme with anti-oxidant role in cells. The aim the present study was to investigate whether HO-1 able protect endothelial cells from induced by cigarette smoking. It observed that smoking induce generation reactive oxygen species (ROS) carotid arteries rats. Hemin, widely used inducer, reduce ROS. In...
