Research Abstract |
Metabolic syndrome is a complex diseases, which is closely associated with insulin resistance. In this study, we characterized aorta from Zucker rat, a typical animal model of MS. In aorta from MS, we found following results, 1) Hypo-vasoconstriction induced by iNOS, 2) A decrease in thiol-antioxidants, Changes in arginine, methionine metabolisms (including a decrease in SAM level, a methyl donor) 3) Decreases in the methyl-arginine modifications on vascular proteins. Moreover, we found the involvement of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species and gas molecules with insulin signal in cultured endothelial cells.
