Microvascular dysfunction after transient high glucose is caused by superoxide-dependent reduction in the bioavailability of NO and BH(4).
We hypothesized that transient high-glucose concentration interferes with mediation by nitric oxide (NO) of flow-induced dilation (FID) of arterioles due to enhanced production of superoxide. In isolated, pressurized (80 mmHg) rat gracilis muscle arterioles ( approximately 130 microm) after transien...
