Does leptin potentiate endothelium-dependent relaxation by inducing endothelial expression of neuronal NO synthase?
Leptin induces endothelial nNOS expression, which compensates, in part, for a lack of NO production by eNOS to maintain endothelium-dependent relaxation.
The sutureless anchor pad was beneficial for both patients and health care providers. Further investigation to determine how StatLock helps reduce catheter-related blood stream infections is necessary.
