Effects of Atorvastatin, Amlodipine, and Their Combination on Vascular Dysfunction in Insulin-Resistant Rats
Abstract.: Deficiency of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) in the vascular tissue contributes to endothelial dysfunction through reduced eNOS activity and increased superoxide anion (O2−) generation in the insulin-resistant state. We investigated the effects of atorvastatin, a 3-hydroxyl-3-methylglutaryl co...
