Using the spring constant method to analyze arterial elasticity in type 2 diabetic patients
BACKGROUND This study tests the validity of a newly-proposed spring constant method to analyze arterial elasticity in type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS The experimental group comprised 66 participants (36 men and 30 women) ranging between 46 and 86 years of age, all with diabetes mellitus. In the experimental group, 21 participants suffered from atherosclerosis. All were subjected to the meas...

متن کاملCompromised arterial function in human type 2 diabetic patients.
Diabetes is associated with a perturbation of signaling pathways in vascular tissue, which causes vasomotor dysfunction such as hypertension and accelerated atherosclerosis. In the present study, the mechanisms of vasomotor dysfunction, Akt (Thr308 and Ser473) phosphorylation and expression of endothelial NO (nitric oxide) synthase, and inducible NO synthase were investigated in human diabetic ...
