Abstract
Endogenous NO inhibits insulin release in isolated beta cells and insulin-degrading enzyme activity in hepatocytes, while NO release from endothelial cells has been suggested to enhance insulin action. We assessed the overall effect of systemic inhibition of endogenous NO synthesis on glucose homeostasis in humans.
