Fig. 1 Noninjured arteries show normal endothelial monolayer (e), which is denuded (d) 1 day after injury. Note medial smooth muscle cell edema (m) also present 1 day after injury.

Fig. 2 Medial thickening (t) of injured arteries is prominent at 7 and 14 days, with increased numbers of smooth muscle cell nuclei. Smooth muscle cells (c) are present on luminal side of internal elastic lamina (i) at 28 and 42 days. (Hematoxylin-eosin stain, × 400.)

Fig. 3 Suppression (s) of medial thickening (t) is shown in injured artery treated with CYA for 14 days. (Hematoxylin-eosin stain, × 400.)

Fig. 4 Suppression (s) of medial thickening (t) is shown in injured arteries treated with CYA. Smooth muscle cells (v) are not seen in treated arteries on the luminal side of the internal elastic lamina (i). (Hematoxylin-eosin stain, × 400.)
