1 11384198 Citrulline formed by the NOS reaction is recycled to arginine by the citrulline-NO cycle, which is composed of NOS, argininosuccinate synthetase (AS), and argininosuccinate lyase.
2 11384198 Cationic amino acid transporter (CAT)-1 mRNA remained little changed, and CAT-2 mRNA was not detected.
3 11384198 Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) mRNA in the aorta was also induced.
4 11384198 TGF-beta1 induced eNOS and AS mRNAs in human umbilical vein endothelial cells but inhibited the proliferation of HUVEC.
5 11384198 These results indicate that eNOS and AS are coinduced in the aorta in early stages of STZ-induced diabetic rats and that the induction is mediated by TGF-beta1.
6 17135270 Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP-1B) has been implicated in the regulation of the insulin receptor.
7 17135270 PTP-1B-/- mice have increased insulin sensitivity and are resistant to weight gain when fed a high fat diet, validating PTP-1B as a potential target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
8 17135270 Using two constructs of PTP-1B and a phosphopeptide as substrate, steady state assays showed that the presence of the C-terminal domain decreased both the Km and the k(cat) 2-fold.
