Reduced bioavailability of nitric oxide plays a crucial
role in endothelial dysfunction in diabetes. The goal of
this study was to investigate the effect of eNOS
overexpression on cerebral blood flow (CBF) and
cerebrovascular reactivity (CR) in diabetic mice,
eNOS-overexpressed (TgeNOS) mice, Akita diabetic (Ins2
Akita) mice, and a genetic cross of TgeNOS⨂Ins2 Akita.
We hypothesized that eNOS overexpression rescues CBF and
CR dysfunction in the diabetic brain.
