Association between Insulin and Nitric Oxide in Human Retinal Microvascular Endothelial Cells in vitro by Rizk, Nasser Moustafa

“…In conclusion, this study demonstrated that Hyperglycemia causes an increase in ROS/oxidative stress and apoptosis, while insulin promotes a significant decrease in ROS and apoptosis, eNOS mediated NO production increases with hyperglycemia but remarkably decreases with insulin treatment after 1 hour, 2 hours and 4 hours, insulin could counteract the hyperglycemic effect on AKT/pI3 kinase which mediates NO production and VEGF-A, decreased adhesion molecules p-selectin involved in barrier disorder of retinal endothelial cells. …”
