Researcher Dr. Abdelali Agouni

Recent work led by Dr. Abdelali Agouni demonstrated for the first time the beneficial effects of pharmacological induction of Heme Oxygenase (HO)-1 in preventing high glucose-mediated activation of endoplasmic reticulum stress response in cultured endothelial cells leading to an improvement in endothelial dysfunction, the initial step in the development of atherosclerosis, characterized by a protection against endothelial cell death and improved angiogenic capacity. This work further highlighted the therapeutic potential of HO-1 induction in the treatment of cardiovascular complications of diabetes.
