Do prostaglandins and nitric oxide mediate insulin-induced vasodilation in the human forearm?
Insulin has vasodilating properties in skeletal muscle vasculature that is mediated by increases in nitric oxide, that subsequently stimulates prostaglandin release. The latter appears to be a novel vascular action of insulin.
SIMV treatment improves the therapeutic efficacy of MSC transplantation in acutely infarcted hearts by promoting cell survival and cardiovascular differentiation.
