Overexpression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase prevents diet-induced obesity and regulates adipocyte phenotype

Endothelial dysfunction is a characteristic feature of diabetes and obesity in animal models and humans. Deficits in nitric oxide production by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) are associated with insulin resistance, which is exacerbated by high-fat diet. Nevertheless, the metabolic effects...
