Differential nitric oxide levels in the blood and skeletal muscle of Type 2 diabetic subjects may be consequence of adiposity: a preliminary study.

Differential nitric oxide levels in the blood and skeletal muscle of Type 2 diabetic subjects may be consequence of adiposity: a preliminary study.

Background and Aims: Nitric oxide (NO) exerts key regulatory functions including vasodilation and glucose uptake. Thus reduced NO levels are associated with insulin resistance and hypertension. In this preliminary work we aimed to measure the levels of NO• metabolites in serum and skeletal muscle of...
