U.S. researchers suggest the lack of interaction of two enzymes may lead to blood vessel damage in those with diabetes. Xiaochao Wei, a postdoctoral research scholar, and researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis say avoiding diabetic-linked blood vessel damage in mice involved two enzymes -- fatty acid synthase and nitric oxide synthase. Wei discovered fatty acid synthase makes a lipid that attaches to nitric oxide synthase, allowing it to hook to the cell membrane and help make blood vessels normal and healthy. Read more
