Nitric oxide and superoxide dismutase modulate endothelial progenitor cell function in type 2 diabetes mellitus

BACKGROUND: The function of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), which are key cells in vascular repair, is impaired in diabetes mellitus. Nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species can regulate EPC functions. EPCs tolerate oxidative stress by upregulating superoxide dismutase (SOD), the enzyme t...
