1 Troglitazone significantly increased NO production and iNOS expression after 24hr in a dose-and PPARgamma-dependent manner. Troglitazone nitric oxide synthase 2 Bos taurus
2 Elevation of D-glucose, but not L-glucose, from 5.5 to 30 mm for 24 hr decreased NO production, but co-treatment with troglitazone reversed high glucose-induced inhibition of NO production as well as iNOS expression. Troglitazone nitric oxide synthase 2 Bos taurus
3 In conclusion, high glucose inhibits iNOS expression and subsequently NO synthesis in cultured bovine retinal pericytes, and troglitazone restores the NO production. Glucose nitric oxide synthase 2 Bos taurus
