Abstract
These results suggest that PPARγ in ECs not only is an important regulator of hypertension and HR under stressed conditions mimicking those arising in type 2 diabetics, but also mediates the antihypertensive effects of rosiglitazone. These data add evidence supporting a beneficial role for PPARγ-specific ligands in the treatment of hypertension, and suggest therapeutic strategies targeting ECs may prove useful.
