NOS3 and atherosclerosis: These results align with a study that noted the anti-atherosclerotic properties of Glyz in male New Zealand White rabbits fed a 4-week high cholesterol (1%) and fat (6%) diet before being reverted to a 4-week low cholesterol (0.025%) diet to induce atherosclerosis, as rabbits with Glyz-eluting stents fitted on the left carotid artery demonstrated increased eNOS expression, promoted reendothelialization, enhanced luminal diameter and inhibited intimal hyperplasia [57].
