Publications
Insulin resistance, lipotoxicity and endothelial dysfunctionHelen Imrie
Division of Cardiovascular and Diabetes Research, Leeds Multidisciplinary Cardiovascular Research Centre, The LIGHT Laboratories, Clarendon Way, Leeds, LS29JT, UK
Biochim Biophys Acta 1801:320-6. 2010..In this review we discuss the mechanisms linking insulin resistance to endothelial dysfunction, with a particular emphasis on a potential role for a toxic effect of free fatty acids on endothelial cell homeostasis...
Novel role of the IGF-1 receptor in endothelial function and repair: studies in endothelium-targeted IGF-1 receptor transgenic miceHelen Imrie
Division of Cardiovascular and Diabetes Research, Multidisciplinary Cardiovascular Research Centre, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK
Diabetes 61:2359-68. 2012..The IGF-1R, although reducing NO bioavailability, enhances in situ endothelium regeneration. Manipulating IGF-1R in the endothelium may be a useful strategy to treat disorders of vascular growth and repair...
Increasing circulating IGFBP1 levels improves insulin sensitivity, promotes nitric oxide production, lowers blood pressure, and protects against atherosclerosisAdil Rajwani
Division of Cardiovascular and Diabetes Research, MultidisciplinaryCardiovascular Research Centre, University of Leeds, Leeds, U K
Diabetes 61:915-24. 2012....
The insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor is a negative regulator of nitric oxide bioavailability and insulin sensitivity in the endotheliumAfroze Abbas
Division of Cardiovascular and Diabetes Research, Leeds Multidisciplinary Cardiovascular Research Centre, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK
Diabetes 60:2169-78. 2011....
Insulin resistance impairs circulating angiogenic progenitor cell function and delays endothelial regenerationMatthew B Kahn
Division of Cardiovascular and Diabetes Research, Leeds Institute of Genetics, Health and Therapeutics, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK
Diabetes 60:1295-303. 2011..Type 2 diabetes is associated with fewer circulating APCs, APC dysfunction, and impaired endothelial repair. We set out to determine whether insulin resistance adversely affects APCs and endothelial regeneration...
Vascular insulin-like growth factor-I resistance and diet-induced obesityHelen Imrie
Division of Cardiovascular and Diabetes Research, Leeds Multidisciplinary Cardiovascular Research Centre, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, United Kingdom
Endocrinology 150:4575-82. 2009..Vascular IGF-I resistance may represent a novel therapeutic target to prevent or slow the accelerated vasculopathy seen in humans with obesity or type 2 diabetes mellitus...
