High-fat diet-induced reduction in nitric oxide-dependent arteriolar dilation in rats: role of xanthine oxidase-derived superoxide anion.
- Abstract:
-
Obesity frequently leads to the development of hypertension. We hypothesized that high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity impairs the endothelium-dependent dilation of arterioles. Male Wistar rats were fed with normal (control) or HFD (60% of saturated fat, for 10 wk). In rats with HFD, body weight, mean arterial blood pressure, and serum insulin, cholesterol, and glucose were elevated. In isolated gracilis muscle arterioles (diameter: approximately 160 microm) of HFD, rat dilations to ACh (at 1 ...
