Protein kinase C activation contributes to microvascular barrier dysfunction in the heart at early stages of diabetes.

abstract：:-The vascular endothelial growth factor receptor Flk-1/KDR is highly expressed during development and almost disappears in adult tissues. Despite its biological relevance, little is known about the molecular mechanisms controlling its expression. In the present work, it is shown that cAMP response element binding prot...
