Regulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase expression by albumin-derived advanced glycosylation end products.

abstract：RATIONALE:Hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) serves as a key endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor mediating flow-induced dilation in human coronary arterioles (HCAs). The precise mechanisms by which H(2)O(2) elicits smooth muscle hyperpolarization are not well understood. An important mode of action of H(2)O(2) involve...
