⺠Amlodipine antioxidant and antiinflammatory ability to repair endothelial dysfunction. ⺠Reduced p22phox, NOX4, iNOS expression, NADPHox activity, 4-HNE and 3-nitrotyrosine. ⺠Reduced MCP-1 and VCAM-1 expression and number of monocytes adhered to endothelium. ⺠Decreased phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and p65 NF-κB subunit. ⺠Amlodipine may improve endothelial dysfunction in diabetes.
