摘要
We tested the hypothesis that activation of the polyol pathway and protein kinase C ( PKC) during diabetes is due to loss of NO. Our results show that after 4 weeks of streptozotocininduced diabetes, treatment with L- arginine restored NO levels and prevented tissue accumulation of sorbitol in mice, which was accompanied by an increase in glutathiolation of aldose reductase. L- Arginine treatment decreased superoxide generation in the aorta, total PKC activity and PKC- bII phosphorylation in the heart, and the plasma levels of triglycerides and soluble ICAM. These data suggest that increasing NO bioavailability by L- arginine corrects the major biochemical abnormalities of diabetes. (c) 2008 Published by Elsevier B.
