Angiotensin II stimulates vascular NADPH oxidase to produce superoxide, which can react with nitric oxide and impair vasomotor function. We tested the hypothesis that the overexpression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) or superoxide dismutase (SOD) would correct angiotensin II-induced endothelial dysfunction. We examined the effects of the gene transfer of eNOS or 2 isoforms of SOD to the aorta in angiotensin II-treated rabbits on vasomotor function. New Zealand White rabbits were treated for 1 week with angiotensin II (100 ng . kg(-1) . min(-1)) or saline by osmotic minipumps. In angiotensin II-treated rabbits, mean blood pressure was 107+/-8 mm Hg; it was 67+/-5 mm Hg in saline-infused rabbits (P
