Abstract
Rationale: Visceral adipose tissue-derived serine proteinase inhibitor (vaspin) is an adipokine identified from visceral adipose tissues of genetically obese rats. Objective: The role of vaspin in the diabetic vascular complications remains elusive, and we investigated the effects of vaspin on the vascular function under the diabetic milieu. Methods and Results: Adenovirus carrying the full length of the vaspin gene (Vaspin-Ad) ameliorated...
