Insulin Sensitivity is Enhanced by CGMP-mediated MAPK Inhibition in Rat Adipocytes

Bradykinin (BK) acts through eNOS to reduce MAPK-mediated feedback inhibition of insulin signalling. Preliminary data suggest that the sGC-cGMP-PKG pathway, a prominent NO target, is involved. Our present study aimed to support the role of this pathway with atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), which us...
