Valve interstitial cells (VICs) are the predominant cell type in the heart valve.1 Under normal circumstances, VICs are quiescent and maintain the structural integrity and function of the valve.2,3 In response to valve injury, VICs undergo phenotypic changes and become activated.4,5 -Smooth muscle actin ( -SMA),

Immunocytochemical studies demonstrated the presence of GHRH-like immunoreactivity in rat interstitial cells from day 4 to adult life and in the acrosomal region of early and intermediate spermatids at stages III-VI of the seminiferous epithelium cycle.
