Inhibition of Cardiac GCH1 O-GlcNAc Modification promotes cardiac BH4/eNOS signaling after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion in mice with Type-2 Diabetes
Abstract:ID 22693 Poster Board 361Reperfusion after myocardial infarction may further increase myocardial injury, which can be exacerbated by diabetes. Strategies have been developed to ameliorate myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injuries (MIRI) yet the effectiveness of these strategies mostly diminish in diabetes largely due to diminished nitric oxide bioavailability in the cardiovascular system. GTP cyclohydrolase 1 (GCH1) and its product tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), a co-factor of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase … 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.
