Exacerbation of endothelial dysfunction during the progression of diabetes: role of oxidative stress.
To test the deterioration of endothelial function during the progression of diabetes, shear stress-induced dilation (SSID; 10, 20, and 40 dyn/cm(2)) was determined in isolated mesenteric arteries (80-120 μm in diameter) of 6-wk (6W), 3-mo (3M), and 9-mo (9M)-old male db/db mice and their wild-type (...
