Endothelial-specific reduction in Arf6 impairs insulin-stimulated vasodilation and skeletal muscle blood flow resulting in systemic insulin resistance

This study shows that reducing Arf6 in endothelial cells impairs insulin-stimulated vasodilation and causes systemic insulin resistance.

Sirt1 overexpression attenuates high-fat diet induced aortic stiffening

This study shows that Sirt1 overexpression reduces aortic stiffening and protects against vascular morphology changes in mice fed a high-fat diet.
