Expression of vascular endothelial growth factor during neoangiogenesis stimulated by exposure to high-intensity laser radiation

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2003 Dec;136(6):551-3. doi: 10.1023/b:bebm.0000020200.10081.1b.

Abstract

Expression of vascular endothelial growth factor was studied during neoangiogenesis stimulated by exposure of ischemic tissues in the limb muscles, liver, and myocardium and normal myocardial tissue to high-intensity laser radiation. Changes in expression were related to cell reactions during the inflammatory and reparative process and did not differ in the studied tissues.
