arginine via cationic amino acid transporters 1 (hCAT-1). This process involves the
activation of A2A adenosine receptors (A2AAR) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells
(HUVECs). Insulin increases hCAT-1 activity and expression in HUVECs, and A2AAR
stimulation increases insulin sensitivity in subjects with insulin resistance. However, whether
A2AAR plays a role in insulin-mediated increase in L-arginine transport in HUVECs is …
