Inflammation induced insulin resistance is associated with DNA methylation changes in vascular endothelial cells
Vascular insulin resistance manifests in decreased production of nitric oxide subsequently leading to vasoconstriction and atherosclerosis. Inflammatory molecules such as IL-6 are known to induce insulin resistance in vascular endothelial cells. Epigenetic mechanisms including promoter DNA methylati...
