Tetrahydrobiopterin Has a Glucose-Lowering Effect by Suppressing Hepatic Gluconeogenesis in an Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase–Dependent Manner in Diabetic Mice

Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) dysfunction induces insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH(4)) is an essential cofactor of eNOS that regulates eNOS activity. In the diabetic state, BH(4) is oxidized to 7,8-dihydrobiopterin, which leads to eNOS dysfunction owing...
