Vericiguat prevents high glucose-mediated impaired vascular smooth muscle cGMP production and vasorelaxation

Abstract Normal endothelial cell dependent vascular smooth muscle cell function is mediated by nitric oxide (NO), which stimulates soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) production of the second messenger cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) leading to increased protein kinase G (PKG) activity and vascular...
