Endotoxemia-related acute kidney injury in transgenic mice with endothelial overexpression of GTP cyclohydrolase-1.
Endotoxin-related acute kidney injury has been shown to profoundly induce nitric oxide (NO), which activates sympathetic and renin-angiotensin system, resulting in renal vasoconstriction. While vascular muscle cells are known to upregulate inducible NO synthase (iNOS), less is known about the endoth...
