Does not support clinical changes in hypertension; leaves open translation of NO-superoxide interactions to human vessels.
How do nitric oxide and superoxide interact to modulate peroxynitrite formation in human blood vessels?
This study provides direct evidence for coordinated vascular signaling mediated by interactions between NO, superoxide, and peroxynitrite in human blood vessels.
Guzik et al. (2002) studied this question.
