Tetrahydrobiopterin protects against hypertrophic heart disease independent of myocardial nitric oxide synthase coupling
Nitric oxide synthase uncoupling occurs under conditions of oxidative stress modifying the enzyme's function so it generates superoxide rather than nitric oxide. Nitric oxide synthase uncoupling occurs with chronic pressure overload, and both are ameliorated by exogenous tetrahydrobiopterin (BH...
