Excess glucose breakdown hampers blood vessel repair in mice
Mice engineered to increase glucose breakdown in blood vessel–lining cells showed poorer blood-flow recovery and lower capillary density after hindlimb blood supply was…Mice engineered to increase glucose breakdown in blood vessel–lining cells showed poorer blood-flow recovery and lower capillary density after hindlimb blood supply was restricted.
