Abstract excerpt
Insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes are major risk factors for vascular complications. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) derived from db/db mice, an established mouse model of type 2 diabetes, displayed enhanced inflammatory gene expression and proatherogenic responses. We examined the hypothesis that aberrant epigenetic chromatin events may the underlying mechanism for this persistent dysfunctional...
