Preclinical rat data suggest prostaglandin compensation during NO deficiency; leaves open translation to human renal or blood pressure regulation.
Does nitric oxide inhibition interact with cyclooxygenase products to regulate renal function and blood pressure in normal rats?
In normal conscious rats, severe NO deficiency causes renal vasoconstriction that is exacerbated by cyclooxygenase blockade, suggesting vasodilator cyclooxygenase products compensate for renal hypoperfusion.
Baylis et al. (1996) studied this question.
