The induction of haemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1) exerts beneficial effects in the setting of endothelial dysfunction in obesity. High free fatty acid (FFA) levels are a common feature of obesity and are the primary cause of endothelial dysfunction. The objective of our study was to explore the effects of HO-1 induction on FFA-induced endothelial dysfunction in rats.
