Nitric oxide and vascular insulin resistance
@article{Wu2009NitricOA, title={Nitric oxide and vascular insulin resistance}, author={Guoyao Wu and Cynthia Meininger}, journal={BioFactors}, year={2009}, volume={35} }
Obesity and type‐II diabetes are growing major health issues worldwide. They are the leading risk factors for vascular insulin resistance, which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in developed nations. Recent studies have shown that reduced synthesis of nitric oxide (NO; a major vasodilator) from L‐arginine in endothelial cells is a major factor contributing to the impaired action of insulin in the vasculature of obese and diabetic…

Endothelial cells from diabetic BioBreeding rats have an impaired ability to produce NO because of a deficiency in tetrahydrobiopterin (BH(4), a cofactor necessary for enzyme activity in de novo biosynthesis of GTP-cyclohydrolase I, and increasing BH( 4) levels with sepiapterin increased NO production.
