We reported that insulin stimulates NAD(P)H oxidase activity but not migration of cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Because angiotensin II (Ang II) increases NAD(P)H oxidase activity in these cells, we wished to determine whether insulin stimulates migration of Ang II-treated VSMCs by synergistically stimulating enzyme activity.
