Membrane Abnormalities of Vascular Smooth Muscle of Mesenteric Arteries of Spontaneous Diabetic BB Rats
Abstract
Mesenteric arteries were isolated from the spontaneous diabetic BB rats, non diabetic BB rats and regular Wistar control rats. Gross morphology indicated that the mesenteric vascular bed of the control Wistar rats had a normal development of mesenteric fat pad around the vessels, while that of the diabetic BB rats showed drastically reduced perivascular fat pad, suggesting greater mobilization of fat for energy consumption in the hyperglycemic …
