the results suggest : ( 1 ) that the lesions arise by stimulation of the resident smc in the icm to hyperplastic activity , ( 2 ) that the role of monocytes in the early development of these lesions is minimal if any , ( 3 ) that in view of the intact endothelium platelets are not likely to play an important role , ( 4 ) that icm cell death is not a major factor , ( 5 ) that the most likely candidate for the cell growth stimulatory role ( ? mitogen ) is some component ( s ) of the excess lipid that accumulates in the icm .
