Background: Peroxynitrite is a toxic compound formed during the inactivation of nitric oxide (NO) by the superoxide anion. The physiologic significance of this pathway of NO metabolism has never been documented in vivo. Because peroxynitrite provides a pathway for the inactivation of NO we postulated that peroxyrtitrite's correlation with physiologic parameters would be the opposite of those associated with NO, which is a vasodilator and suppresses sudomotor function. We assessed the significance of peroxynitrite by comparing its associations with blood pressure (BP) and sudomotor responses with those of NO.Methods: Thirty-seven patients with type I diabetes enrolled in a longitudinal study of oxidative stress. Nitric C oxide was assessed from nitrite and nitrate (collectively NOx) and peroxynitrite was assessed from the nitrotyrosine (nTy) content of protein.Results: nTy was 13.3 +/- 2.0 mumol/L in the control subjects and 26.8 +/- 4.4 mumol/L, 26.1+/- 4.3 mumol/L, and 32.7 +/- 4.3 mumol/L in the diabetic patients (P
