Fig. 1From: 5-methoxytryptophan: an arsenal against vascular injury and inflammationIllustrated summary of the vasoprotective actions of 5-MTP. 5-MTP restores EC migration and proliferation while it inhibits cytokine-induced expression of EC adhesion molecules and SMC migration and proliferation. It preserves SRF and MRTFA, thereby attenuating SMC phenotypic switch by blocking p38 MAPK and NF-κB activationBack to article page
