Abstract 16485: The Nitroxyl Donor 1-Nitrosocyclohexyl Acetate Limits Cardiac Superoxide Upregulation and Diastolic Dysfunction in a Mouse Model of Diabetic Cardiomyopathy
Abstract:Nitroxyl (HNO), a redox congener of NO•, is a novel regulator of cardiovascular function combining vasodilator and positive inotropic properties. Our previous studies have demonstrated these properties occur concomitantly in the intact heart; HNO moreover also exhibits antihypertrophic and superoxide-suppressing actions. HNO donors may thus offer favorable actions in heart failure. The impact of chronic HNO donor administration has however yet to be reported in this context. We tested the hypothesis that the H… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
