We have investigated the effects of pressure stress and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) function. The pressure stress which simulates systolic hypertension activated focal adhesion kinase in VSMCs. Although we assume that PPAR activation plays a part in the mechanisms of the modulation of cell function by DHA, further studies are required to clarify the precise mechanisms. DHA and resolvin D1 inhibited angiotensin II-induced cell proliferation in the absence or the presence of pressure stress.
