Methylglyoxal Enhances Sodium Nitroprusside–Induced Relaxation in Rat Aorta
The concentration of methylglyoxal (MGO), a metabolite of glucose, increases in plasma of type II diabetic patients as well as in tissues of hypertensive rats. We have previously shown that MGO inhibited noradrenaline (NA)–induced smooth muscle contraction in rat aorta. However, the effect of MGO on...
