OBJECTIVE: To find out whether dexamethasone induces an uncoupling of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). METHODS & RESULTS: A major cause of eNOS uncoupling is a deficiency of its cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH(4)). Treatment of human EA.hy 926 endothelial cells with dexamethasone d...
