Methylene blue alleviates endothelial dysfunction and reduces oxidative stress in aortas from diabetic rats

This study investigated the effects of methylene blue (MB) on endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress in diabetic rats. Streptozotocin-induced diabetes led to increased vascular contractility, reduced endothelial-dependent relaxation, and heightened oxidative stress, indicated by elevated hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) levels. Treatment with MB at a dose of 0.1 μM for 30
