| Outline of Research at the Start |
We will establish how prediabetic changes in various heart cell lines predispose the coronary circulation to vascular aging and moreover, why vascular aging is accelerated by diabetes and ameliorated by regular high intensity exercise using synchrotron imaging and proteomics analyses on rodents.

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Diabetes accelerates vascular ageing when excess oxidants exceed antioxidant capacity, vascular dysfunction and vessel rarefaction. We tested whether Nox2 contributes to coronary dysfunction in diet induced early-stage diabetes induced by high fat diet (HFD) and increased salt intake in mice treated with and without apocynin. Synchrotron microangiography revealed that the coronary capacity to produce NO (nitric oxide) was diminished by insulin resistance, suggesting Nox2 overactivation in insulin resistance reduces NO bioavailability. In SAMP8 mice glycolysis was inhibited and abnormal purine metabolism increased xanthine oxidase activation on HFD leading to microvascular dysfunction. Mice developed mild coronary dysfunction due to elevated oxidants, metabolic inflexibility and mitochondrial dysfunction. We conclude that insulin resistance greatly increases endothelin production through Nox2 to reduce NO bioavailability. iNOS upregulation promoted p53 activation in senescent mice.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
我々の研究は、マウスにおいて優れたイメージング技術により、カロリー過多や塩分多量摂取などの食生活の乱れによる生活習慣病が、心臓の微小血管の早期老化を引き起こし、運動やストレス時に心臓の機能を低下させることを明らかにした。また、運動がこの血管機能障害を改善することを示し、治療のターゲットを特定した。
