We investigated whether 10 days'in vivotreatment with nitroglycerine (NTG) would inhibit nitric oxide production by the endothelial cells of resistance arteriesex vivoand, if so, what the underlying mechanism might be.ACh increased the intracellular nitric oxide concentration ([NO]i; estimated using the nitric oxide‐sensitive fluorescent dye diaminofluorescein‐2) within the endothelial cells of rabbit mesenteric resistance arteries. This effect was significantly smaller in arteries isolated from NTG‐treated rabbits than in those from control rabbits. The reduction in endothelial [NO]iin NTG‐treated rabbits was prevented when olmesartan (blocker of type 1 angiotensin II receptors (AT1Rs)) was coadministeredin vivowith NTG and also when the superoxide scavenger manganese (III) tetrakis‐(4‐benzoic acid) porphyrin (Mn‐TBAP), the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor GF109203X orL‐arginine (with or without the active form of folate (5‐methyltetrahydrofolate)) was incubated with the arteriesin vitro.Endothelial cell superoxide production (estimated by ethidium fluorescence) was greatly increased in arteries from NTG‐treated rabbits. This was normalized byin vivocoadministration of olmesartan with NTG and also byin vitroapplication of Mn‐TBAP or GF109203X (but not of 5‐methyltetrahydrofolate+L‐arginine).ACh increased the intracellular Ca2+concentration (estimated using the Ca2+‐sensitive dye Fura 2) within endothelial cells, the increase being not significantly different between NTG‐treated rabbits and control rabbits.We conclude that in NTG‐treated rabbits, endothelial nitric oxide production in mesenteric resistance arteries is reduced, possibly through a reduction in the bioavailability ofL‐arginineviaan action mediated by superoxide. Activation of the AT1R–PKC pathway may be involved in increasing superoxide production.British Journal of Pharmacology(2005)146, 534–542. doi:10.1038/sj.bjp.0706365
