This study determined whether flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) may elicit vasodilation in conscious rats via release of preformed endothelium-derived nitrosyl factors. Injections 1-6 (inj 1-6) of FAD (2.5 mu mol/kg, IV) elicited pronounced and equivalent vasodilator responses in saline-treated rats. Inj(1) of FAD elicited pronounced vasodilation in L-NAME-treated rats pretreated with the nitric oxide (NO) synthesis inhibitor, N-G-nitro-L-arginine (L-NAME; 50 mu mol/kg, IV), whereas Inj(2-6) elicited progressively smaller responses such that inj(6) elicited minor responses. The vasodilator responses elicited by the endothelium-dependent agonist, acetylcholine, were markedly attenuated in L-NAME-treated rats that had received inj(1-6) of FAD but not in saline-treated rats that had received inj1-6 of FAD. The vasodilator actions of L-S-nitrosocysteine and the NO donor, sodium nitroprusside, were not diminished after the injections of FAD in saline- or in L-NAME-treated rats. Binding studies demonstrated that the densities of muscarinic M-3 receptors were increased in thoracic aorta endothelium of rats treated with L-NAME + inj(1-6) of saline or LNAME + inj(1-6) of FAD as compared to rats treated with saline + inj(1-6) of saline or saline + inj 1-6 of FAD. The progressive loss of response to injections of FAD in L-NAME-treated rats coupled with the loss of response to acetylcholine suggests that FAD elicits the use-dependent depletion of vesicular pools of nitrosyl factors in endothelial cells that cannot be replenished in the absence of NO synthesis.
