Abstract excerpt
Heme oxygenase (HO) and cytochrome P450 (P450)-derived epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) participate in vascular protection, and recent studies suggest these two systems are functionally linked. We examined the consequences of HO deficiency on P450-derived EETs with regard to body weight, adiposity, insulin resistance, blood pressure, and vascular function in HO-2-null mice. The HO-2-null mice were obese,...
