Preserved microvascular endothelial function in young, obese adults with functional loss of nitric oxide signaling

Preserved microvascular endothelial function in young, obese adults with functional loss of nitric oxide signaling

Data indicate endothelium-dependent dilation (EDD) may be preserved in the skeletal muscle microcirculation of young, obese adults. Preserved EDD might be mediated by compensatory mechanisms, impeding insight into preclinical vascular dysfunction. We aimed to determine the functional roles of nitri...
