The dysfunction and further damage of endothelium play an important role in the development and progression of diabetic vascular complications. Protein tyrosine nitration is involved in endothelial cell injury induced by high glucose. Little is known about protein nitration in human umbilical vein
Recent evidence argues strongly that the marked increase in risk for atherosclerotic heart disease seen in diabetics cannot be explained by a generalized increase in oxidative stress. Here, we used streptozotocin to induce hyperglycemia in cynomolgus monkeys for 6 months and tested whether high
The alteration and further damage of vascular smooth muscle function have been implicated in the development of vascular complications and diabetes. Little is known about protein tyrosine nitration in vascular smooth muscle cell injury induced by high glucose. In this article, vascular smooth muscle
Loss of the modulatory role of the endothelium may be a critical initial factor in the development of diabetic vascular diseases. Exposure of human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) to high glucose (30 or 44 mmol/l) for 7-10 days significantly increased the release of superoxide anion in response to
BACKGROUND
Erectile dysfunction (ED) afflicts 50% of diabetic men, many of whom experience poor results with phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. The protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitor imatinib (Gleevec, Novartis Pharmaceuticals, Basel, Switzerland) has therapeutic potential in diabetic men by
Insulin resistance and metabolic derangement are present in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the metabolomic signature of T2DM in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has not been investigated thus far. In this prospective metabolomic study, fasting CSF and plasma samples from 40 T2DM
BACKGROUND
Peroxynitrite is a cytotoxic oxidant formed from nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide. Tyrosine nitration, a footprint of peroxynitrite, has been demonstrated in the pancreatic islets as well as in the cardiovascular system of diabetic subjects. Delineation of the pathogenetic role of
There is evidence that reactive nitrogen species are implicated in diabetic vascular complications, but their sources and targets remain largely unidentified. In the present study, we aimed to study the roles of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in diabetes. Exposure of isolated bovine
Angiogenesis, the formation of neovessels from the endothelium of preexisting vessels, is stimulated by soluble angiogenic factors. Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) stimulates myogenesis and induces nerve regeneration after injury, and it has been shown to stimulate angiogenesis. However, the in
N(ε)-carboxymethyllysine (CML), a major advanced glycation end product, plays a crucial role in diabetes-induced vascular injury. The roles of protein tyrosine phosphatases and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors in CML-related endothelial cell injury are still unclear. Human
Endothelial cells are likely to play an important role in the development of diabetic vascular diseases since they are exposed directly to the abnormal circulating metabolites of diabetes and may be easily damaged early in the natural course of vascular complications. Recently, we have demonstrated
Endothelial cells are likely to play an important role in the development of diabetic vascular diseases, since they are exposed directly to the abnormal circulating metabolites of diabetes and may be easily damaged early in the natural course of vascular complications. In this study, aortic
This study was undertaken to determine whether and how advanced glycation end products (AGE), senescent macroproteins accumulated in various tissues under hyperglycemic states, cause angiogenesis, the principal vascular derangement in diabetic microangiopathy. We first prepared AGE-bovine serum
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) inhibits insulin action, in part, by activating c-jun NH(2)-terminal kinases (JNK). However, the precise mechanisms by which TNF-alpha activates JNK are unknown. Recently, we confirmed that hyperglycemia increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS)
Oxidative stress plays an important role in diabetic vascular complications. It has been shown that an imbalance in the ratio of nitric oxide to superoxide anion due to a prevalence of the superoxide anion leads to an alteration in vascular reactivity. Under these conditions an increase in
