Research on the Rat Aortic Arch Smooth Muscle Cells is essential to the study of hypertension-induced vascular remodeling, aortic arch calcification, baroreceptor dysfunction, and atherosclerosis susceptibility studies. The aorta is the largest artery and the main vessel that carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle into the systemic circulation. All arteries in the systemic circulation arise from the aorta either directly (like the coronary or brachiocephalic arteries) or through its branches (e.g., femoral artery via the iliac arteries), distributing oxygenated blood to peripheral tissues and organs. Cells isolated from the aorta can be used in research on systemic circulation and vascular diseases, such as aortic aneurysm. The Rat Aortic Arch Smooth Muscle Cells are to be used with Rat Aortic Arch Smooth Muscle Cell Medium (Cat. No. ACM0205). This product is intended for laboratory in vitro use only. It is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
