Abstract excerpt
Oxidative stress contributes to cardiovascular complications of diabetes, in part, by reducing the bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO). We investigated the mechanisms whereby the insulin sensitizer rosiglitazone may ameliorate oxidative stress in the vasculature of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Nine-week-old SHR were treated by gavage for 7 wk with rosiglitazone (5 mg x kg(-1) x day(-1)) or vehicle...
