Type 2 diabetes progression differently affects endothelial function and vascular contractility in the aorta and the pulmonary artery
Abstract Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with cardiovascular and pulmonary disease. How T2D affects pulmonary endothelial function is not well characterized. We investigated the effects of T2D progression on contractility machinery and endothelial function in the pulmonary and systemic circulati...
