2-Methoxyestradiol Induces Vasodilation by Stimulating NO Release via PPARγ/PI3K/Akt Pathway

The endogenous estradiol metabolite 2-methoxyestradiol (2-ME) reduces atherosclerotic lesion formation, while the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. In this work, we investigated the vasodilatory effect of 2-ME and the role of nitric oxide (NO) involved. In vivo studies using noninvasive tail-cuf...
