1 The effects of three analogues of N0-nitro-L-arginine (L-NOARG) and N0-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA), inhibitors of nitric oxide (NO) synthase, on hydrogen peroxide (H202)-induced endothelial cell injury were studied. 2 Endothelial cell injury was assessed by measuring the release of intracellular lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and 5'Cr.3 Addition of H202 (250-1,000 pM) to endothelial cells induced the release of LDH dose-dependently.The release of LDH was reduced by pretreatment with N0-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
