Characterization of Acetylcholine-Mediated Vasodilation in Mourning Dove Arteries Under Normoglycemic and Hyperglycemic Conditions

Characterization of Acetylcholine-Mediated Vasodilation in Mourning Dove Arteries Under Normoglycemic and Hyperglycemic Conditions

abstract: Birds have plasma glucose levels that are 1.5-2 times greater than mammals of similar body mass in addition to higher free fatty acid concentrations, both of which would typically impair endothelium-dependent vasodilation if observed in mammals. Endothelium-dependent vasodilation can be st...
