Objective: Cigarette smoking impairs peripheral endothelium-dependent vasodilatation and acute tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) release in man. The aim of the study was to determine if this endothelial dysfunction is, in part, mediated by the effects of nicotine. Methods: Blood flow and plasma fibrinolytic factors were measured in both forearms of eight healthy male non-smokers during unilateral brachial artery infusion of the endothelium-dependent vasodilator, substance P (2 to 8 pmol/min). Endothelium-independent vasodilatation was assessed using intra-arterial infusion of sodium nitroprusside (2 to 8 mug/min). Subjects attended after 7 days treatment with transdermal nicotine or placebo in a double blind randomised crossover design. Results: Plasma cotinine concentrations rose from 0.4+/-0.1 (placebo) to 125+/-25 ng/ml during nicotine administration (P
