1 Fasudil could reduce the elevated tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha (70.2 +- 14.1 vs. 25.3 +- 5.2) and transforming growth factor (TGF-beta) levels and restored the deficit in antioxidant level of the diabetic aorta. fasudil tumor necrosis factor Rattus norvegicus
2 In conclusion, the present study demonstrates that fasudil effectively ameliorates the endothelial dysfunction in STZ-induced diabetic rats through inhibition of the Rho/ROCK pathway and thereby reducing the TNF-alpha-mediated NADPH oxidase activation. fasudil tumor necrosis factor Rattus norvegicus
