Circulation, 07/02/09
Tchaikovski V et al. - The elevated advanced glycation end products expression and increased oxidative stress in diabetic monocytes lead to activation of VEGFR-1–related signaling pathways and to desensitization of VEGFR-1 responses. These data establish VEGF resistance as a novel molecular concept for DM-related cellular dysfunction.
