Peroxynitrite Mediates Diabetes-Induced Endothelial Dysfunction: Possible Role of Rho Kinase Activation

Figure 1

FeTPPs improves diabetes-impaired coronary endothelial-dependent vasorelaxation. Concentration-response curves for the effect of ACh for coronary arteries from control, diabetic, FeTPPs-treated control, and FeTPPs-treated diabetic rats at 4 weeks (n = 6 in each group). ACh value from diabetic vessels was significantly lower than control. Cotreatment with FeTPPs improved value from diabetic vessels but did not affect treated controls. Values are expressed as means ± SEM, versus control.
