Oxygen free radicals (OFR) play a primary role in ischemia-reperfusion-mediated Vascular dysfunction and this is paralleled by a loss of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity, The authors tested whether a direct exposure to OFR may affect vascular relaxation by altering nitric oxide (NO release, Effects of electrolysis(EL)-generated OFR on basal and agonist-evoked NO release were monitored in isolated rat hearts by oxyhemoglobin assay. Electrolysis-induced changes were compared with those obtained after 30min perfusion with NOS and cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors N-G-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 100 muM) and indomethacin (INDO, 1 mM). Electrolysis-generated hydroxyl radical ((OH)-O-.) formed by O-.(2)- and H2O2 via the Fenton reaction as revealed by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), After EL, basal NO release declined by 60% and coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) increased by congruent to 70%, L-NAME/INDO perfusion similarly lowered NO release (- 63%) but increased CPP less than EL (56 +/- 3%; P
