In the present study, we investigated whether the treatment with nifedipine, a dihydropyridine derivative calcium channel blocker (CCB) (40 mg/kg/day, p.o.), inhibit development of intimal thickening and accompanying vascular reactivity changes in this model. Neither intimal thickening nor vascular reactivity changes were effected by nifedipine treatment in this model.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCalcium channel blokerCollarIntimal tickeningVascular reactivityArticle473225241N/A
