Krüppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) is implicated as a key molecule maintaining endothelial function. This study was designed to evaluate the reciprocal regulation of KLF2 by the forkhead transcription factor FOXO1, and the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitor atorvastatin, in hyperglycaemic conditions.
