Hyperlipidemia induced by a cholesterol-rich diet leads to enhanced peroxynitrite formation in rat hearts.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Effective endogenous fibrinolysis requires rapid release of endothelial tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA). Using the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, L-NG-monomethylarginine (L-NMMA), we examined the contribution of endogenous nitric oxide to substance P-induced t-PA release in vivo in man. METHODS:Blood f...
