Abstract

Aging is associated with impaired vascular endothelial function, as indicated in part by reduced endothelium-dependent dilation (EDD). Decreased EDD with aging is thought to be related to vascular endothelial cell oxidative stress, but direct evidence is lacking. We studied 95 healthy men: 51 young (23±1 years) and 44 older (63±1 years). EDD (brachial artery flow-mediated dilation) was ≈50% lower in older versus young men (3.9±0.3% versus 7.6±0.3%, P <0.01; n=42 older/n=51 young). Abundance of nitrotyrosine (quantitative immunofluorescence), an oxidatively modified amino acid and marker of oxidative stress, was higher in endothelial cells (ECs) obtained from the brachial artery (1.25±0.12 versus 0.61±0.11 nitrotyrosine intensity/human umbilical vein EC [HUVEC] intensity, P =0.01; n=11 older/n=11 young) and antecubital veins (0.55±0.04 versus 0.34±0.03, P <0.05; n=19 older/n=17 young) of older men. Flow-mediated dilation was inversely related to arterial EC nitrotyrosine expression ( r =−0.62, P =0.01; n=22). In venous samples, EC expression of the oxidant enzyme NAD(P)H oxidase-p47 phox was higher in older men (0.71±0.05 versus 0.57±0.05 NAD[P]H oxidase-p47 phox intensity/HUVEC intensity, P <0.05; n=19 older/n=18 young), whereas xanthine oxidase and the antioxidant enzymes cytosolic and mitochondrial superoxide dismutase and catalase were not different between groups. Nuclear factor-κB p65, a component of the redox-sensitive nuclear transcription factor nuclear factor-κB, was elevated in both arterial (0.73±0.07 versus 0.53±0.05 NF-κB p65 intensity/HUVEC intensity, P <0.05; n=9 older/n=12 young) and venous (0.65±0.07 versus 0.34±0.05, P <0.01; n=13 older/n=15 young) EC samples of older men and correlated with nitrotyrosine expression ( r =0.51, P <0.05 n=16). These results provide direct support for the hypothesis that endothelial oxidative stress develops with aging in healthy men and is related to reductions in EDD. Increased expression of NAD(P)H oxidase and nuclear factor-κB may contribute to endothelial oxidative stress with aging in humans.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
