1 We investigated the involvement of the PI3-K/Akt pathway in the relaxation responses to acetylcholine (ACh) and clonidine in a new type 2 diabetic model (streptozotocin plus nicotinamide-induced diabetic mice). Clonidine thymoma viral proto-oncogene 1 Mus musculus
2 In control mice, the clonidine-induced and insulin-induced relaxations were each abolished by LY294002 and by Wortmannin (inhibitors of PI3-K), and also by Akt-inhibitor treatment. Clonidine thymoma viral proto-oncogene 1 Mus musculus
3 The clonidine-induced Ser-473 phosphorylation of Akt through PI3-K was significantly decreased in our model; however, that induced by ACh was not. Clonidine thymoma viral proto-oncogene 1 Mus musculus
