1 Insulin-mediated activation of the L-arginine nitric oxide pathway in man, and its impairment in diabetes. Arginine insulin Homo sapiens
2 Given that cardiovascular diseases are also associated with insulin resistance, and insulin is known to induce vasodilation via a NO-dependent pathway, we hypothesised that abnormal insulin modulation of L-arginine transport may contribute to vascular dysfunction in diabetes. Arginine insulin Homo sapiens
3 Given that cardiovascular diseases are also associated with insulin resistance, and insulin is known to induce vasodilation via a NO-dependent pathway, we hypothesised that abnormal insulin modulation of L-arginine transport may contribute to vascular dysfunction in diabetes. Arginine insulin Homo sapiens
4 The effect of locally delivered insulin on arginine transport was assessed during an intra-arterial infusion of [4,5-(3)H] L-arginine. Arginine insulin Homo sapiens
5 CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that insulin resistance may contribute substantially to the onset and development of cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetics via abnormal insulin-mediated regulation of L-arginine transport. Arginine insulin Homo sapiens
