Xanthine oxidase-derived reactive oxygen species convert flow-induced arteriolar dilation to constriction in hyperhomocysteinemia: possible role of peroxynitrite.
We hypothesized that in hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy), flow-induced arteriolar constriction is due to an enhanced generation of reactive oxygen and/or nitrogen species, causing an impairment of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin mediation of the response. Changes in diameter of isolated, pressurized...
