Increase in insulin-induced relaxation of consecutive arterial segments toward the periphery: Role of vascular oxidative state.

abstract：:Glycation of proteins or other biomolecules and their further long-term degradation result in the formation of advanced glycation end products, AGEs. AGEs and other ligands interact with their receptors, RAGEs, localized to a variety of tissues, but mainly in endothelium and vascular wall cells. This interaction trigg...
