Endothelium-dependent relaxations mediated by NO are impaired in a mouse model of human atherosclerosis, Our objective was to characterize the mechanisms underlying endothelial dysfunction in aortas of apolipoprotein E (apoE)-deficient mice, treated for 26 to 29 weeks with a lipid-rich Western-type diet. Aortic rings from apoE-deficient mice showed impaired endothelium-dependent relaxations to acetylcholine (10(-9) to 10(-5) mol/L) and Ca2+ ionophore (10(-9) to 10(-6) mol/L) and endothelium-independent relaxations to diethylammonium (Z)-1 -(N,N-diethylamino)diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate (DEA-NONOate, 10(-10) to 10(-5) mol/L) compared with aortic rings from C57BL/6J mice (P
