Activation of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) by nitrated lipids in endothelial cells.

The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an important regulator of endothelial metabolic and functional homeostasis. Here, we examined the regulation of AMPK by nitrated oleic acid (OA-NO(2)) and investigated the implications in endothelial function. Treatment of bovine aortic endothelial cells (B...
