BACKGROUND: The mechanisms by which heme oxygenase (HO) improves glucose metabolism in essential hypertension are not completely understood. Because dysfunctional insulin signaling is associated with elevated inflammation and high cholesterol and triglycerides, we investigated the effects of HO on the proinflammatory macrophage M1 phenotype and the anti-inflammatory macrophage M2 phenotype in spontaneously...
