| Research Abstract |
To precisely study the phenomena of the response of biological soft tissues to mechanical stress, long-term culture systems were developed for tendons/ligaments and blood vessels. These systems can be used to study mechanisms of the biomechanical remodeling of these tissues. Moreover, we have found that long-term in vivo administration of hesperidin, a kind of polyphenol, affects the contractile response of the femoral artery in rabbits. The mechanisms involved in this phenomenon could also be studied with the vascular culture system.
