The Mitogenic Effect of 17β-Estradiol on in vitro Endothelial Cell Proliferation and on in vivo Reendothelialization Are Both Dependent on Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

In addition to their actions on reproductive function, estrogens have important effects on endothelial cells. The present study was designed to evaluate the mechanism(s) by which 17β-estradiol (E2) pr
