The effects of adipokines on endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation of SMA. (A) Adenovirus-mediated adiponectin supplementation improved ACh-induced endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation of SMA in Leprdb mice, without affecting SNP-induced endothelium-independent vasorelaxation (B). Data represent mean ± SEM. n = 5 mice per group with 1–2 rings per mouse. (C,D) Treatment with recombinant resistin did not affect endothelium-dependent or endothelium-independent vasorelaxation of SMA. Data represent mean ± SEM. n = 6 m Leprdb, 6 Leprdb, 4 Leprdb + resistin with 1–2 rings per mouse. *P < 0.05 vs. m Leprdb control mice, # p < 0.05 vs. Leprdb diabetic mice.
