A review of endothelial dysfunction in diabetes: a focus on the contribution of a dysfunctional eNOS

CR Triggle, H Ding - Journal of the American Society of Hypertension, 2010 - Elsevier
Although the etiology of vascular dysfunction in diabetes has been extensively investigated
in both humans as well as animal models of human diabetes, the relative importance of the
cellular pathways involved is still not fully understood. In this review, we focus on reviewing
the literature that provides insights into how an acute exposure to hyperglycemia results in a
dysregulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase function, the subsequent downstream
effects of endothelial nitric oxide synthase dysregulation, and the development of …
