Role of ROCK upregulation in endothelial and smooth muscle vascular functions in diabetic rat aorta

BACKGROUND: The RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway mediates vascular smooth muscle contraction while endogenous NO induces vasodilation through its inhibition. Since myosin light chain phosphatase (MLCP) and eNOS are targeted by RhoA/ROCK upregulation then turn to lead abnormalities in vasculature, we aime...
