eNOS Protects from Atherosclerosis Despite Relevant Superoxide Production by the Enzyme in apoE(−/−) Mice
BACKGROUND: All three nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoforms are expressed in atherosclerotic plaques. NOS enzymes in general catalyse NO production. However, under conditions of substrate and cofactor deficiency, the enzyme directly catalyse superoxide formation. Considering this alternative chemistr...
