Contribution of polyol pathway to arteriolar dysfunction in hyperglycemia. Role of oxidative stress, reduced NO, and enhanced PGH(2)/TXA(2) mediation.
Hyperglycemia increases glucose metabolism via the polyol pathway, which results in elevations of intracellular sorbitol concentration. Thus we hypothesized that elevated level of sorbitol contributes to the development of hyperglycemia-induced dysfunction of microvessels. In isolated, pressurized (...
