1 Glimepiride induces nitric oxide production in human coronary artery endothelial cells via a PI3-kinase-Akt dependent pathway. glimepiride AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Homo sapiens
2 The effects of LY294002, a specific PI3-kinase inhibitor, and antisense oligonucleotides directed to Akt, on glimepiride-induced NO production were examined. glimepiride AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Homo sapiens
3 Akt was rapidly phosphorylated by glimepiride and antisense oligonucleotides directed to Akt completely inhibited glimepiride-induced NO production. glimepiride AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Homo sapiens
4 Akt was rapidly phosphorylated by glimepiride and antisense oligonucleotides directed to Akt completely inhibited glimepiride-induced NO production. glimepiride AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Homo sapiens
5 Akt was rapidly phosphorylated by glimepiride and antisense oligonucleotides directed to Akt completely inhibited glimepiride-induced NO production. glimepiride AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Homo sapiens
6 These data demonstrate that glimepiride induces NO production in HCAECs by activating PI3-kinase and Akt, and also suggest that use of glimepiride in type 2 diabetes may show promise for preventing CAD in addition to lowering glucose levels. glimepiride AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Homo sapiens
