Acute Regulation of Vascular Tone by AMP-activated Protein Kinase in Arteries of Healthy, Hypertensive and Aged Rats
Background, Rationale and General Purpose: Several seminal observations suggest that AMPK mediates vascular tone: 1) in endothelial cell culture and in vitro isolated protein experiments, activation of AMPK stimulates nitric oxide (NO) production via phosphorylation of endothelial nitric oxide synth...
