AMPKα2 Deletion Causes Aberrant Expression and Activation of NAD(P)H Oxidase and Consequent Endothelial Dysfunction In Vivo
19 Feb 2010
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an energy sensor and ubiquitously expressed in vascular cells. Recent studies suggest that AMPK activation improves endothelial function by counteracting oxidative stress in endothelial cells. How AMPK suppresses oxidative stress remains to be established. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of AMPK in regulating NAD(P)H oxidase, oxidative...
