Schematic diagram illustrating the major signaling pathways affected by insulin resistance in vascular cells. Hyperstimulation of the insulin receptor reduces the activation of the PI3K-Akt signaling axis, thus limiting the phosphorylation and activation of eNOS. Contemporaneously, insulin signaling to MAPK is unimpeded or enhanced.
