View full abstract and other project information on NIH RePORTER Go To NIH RePORTER Excerpt: Diabetes (DM) is prevalent in the Veteran community, and there is an excess risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in those suffering from this disease. Early signs of CVD pathology include disruptions in vascular cells, making the vasculature a prime target for novel therapeutics. Hormesis, or the ability of cells to adapt and self- regulate when exposed to stress, is disrupted in the vasculature of those with DM. A central lynchpin of homeostasis modulation is the enzyme nitric oxide synthase (N... |
