Abstract excerpt
Microvascular endothelial dysfunction is a powerful predictor of future atherosclerotic cardiac events. Our previous studies revealed that under pathological states, such as coronary artery disease (CAD), the dilation mechanism switches from nitric oxide (NO)-mediated [determined by NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor] to mitochondria-derived H2O2 (determined by H2O2 scavenger). Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT),...
