Abnormal biopterin metabolism is a major cause of impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation through nitric oxide/O2- imbalance in insulin-resistant rat aorta.
Abstract
To investigate underlying mechanisms responsible for the impaired nitric oxide (NO)-dependent vascular relaxation in the insulin-resistant state, we examined production of both NO and superoxide anion radical (O2-) and those modulating factors in aortas obtained from normal (CTR), insulin-treated (INS), or high fructose-fed (FR) rats. FR rats showed insulin resistance with endogenous hyperinsulinemia, whereas INS rats showed normal insulin sensitivity. Only FR aortic strips with endothelium elicited impaired relaxation in response to either acetylcholine or calcium ionophore A23187. Endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) activity and its mRNA levels were increased only in vessels from INS rats (P < 0.001), whereas eNOS activity in FR rats was decreased by 58% (P < 0.05) when compared with CTR rats. NO production from aortic strips stimulated with A23187 was significantly lower in FR than CTR rats. In contrast, A23187-stimulated O2- production was higher (P < 0.01) in FR than CTR rats. These differences were abolished when aortic strips were preincubated in the media including (6R)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), an active cofactor for eNOS. Furthermore, as compared with CTR rats, aortic BH4 contents in FR rats were decreased (P < 0.001), whereas the levels of 7,8-dihydrobiopterin, the oxidized form of BH4, were increased, with opposite results in INS rats. These results indicate that insulin resistance rather than hyperinsulinemia itself may be a pathogenic factor for decreased vascular relaxation through impaired eNOS activity and increased oxidative breakdown of NO due to enhanced formation of O2- (NO/O2- imbalance), which are caused by relative deficiency of BH4 in vascular endothelial cells.

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.
