Coronary Artery Responses to Physiological Stimuli Are Improved by Deferoxamine but not by l -Arginine in Non–Insulin-Dependent Diabetic Patients With Angiographically Normal Coronary Arteries and No Other Risk Factors

Abstract: This study shows that (1) responses of angiographically normal CAs to CPT and to flow increase are impaired in diabetic patients; (2) abnormal responses are not improved by L-arginine, suggesting that a deficit in substrate for nitric oxide synthesis is not involved; and (3) deferoxamine restores a vasodilator response to the two tests, suggesting that inactivation of NO by oxygen species might be partly responsible for the impairment of CA dilation in diabetic patients.

“…Thus, the endothelium facilitates vasodilation of both resistance and large coronary vessels (22,23). Conversely, CPT constricts atherosclerotic coronary arteries (9,24) as well as both coronary arteries and microcirculation in patients with risk factors but normal arteries (5,10,25,26). In this study, CPT induced constriction of epicardial coronary arteries in most diabetic patients, whereas the magnitude of dilation of the arteries of control subjects was comparable to that reported in other studies (9,24).…”

“…The cold pressor test (CPT), which activates the sympathetic nervous system, induces dilation of coronary arteries in control subjects and constriction of atherosclerotic coronary arteries (6,9,10). In diabetic patients, CPT has been shown to induce coronary artery constriction (5), which may reflect endothelial dysfunction.…”

“…The cold pressor test, which activates the sympathetic nervous system, induces dilation of coronary arteries in normal subjects and constriction of atherosclerotic coronary arteries. 22,23 In diabetic patients, the cold pressure test has been shown to induce coronary artery constriction, 24 which may reflect endothelial dysfunction. Increased myocardial metabolism leads to an enhanced dilation and flow of epicardial coronary arteries, which is mainly determined by endothelium-derived nitric oxide.…”

“…More specifically, individuals with diabetes display dysfunctions in the regulation of blood flow in coronary arterioles (2,3). Importantly, impairments in the appropriate vasodilatory response of myocardial arterioles to various pharmaceutical and physical stimuli can be present even if there is no discernible atherosclerotic blockage in these blood vessels (4,5). Moreover, increased flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in coronary arterioles is an important regulatory mechanism for controlling arteriolar diameter and blood flow in response to changes in wall shear stress, and this mechanism is also impaired in conditions of glucose dysregulation (6,7).…”

“…Finally, the association of the disruption of caveolae assembly with uncoupling of eNOS in the diabetic group was convincingly demonstrated using isolated coronary arterioles from Cav-1 knockout mice, in which endothelial caveolae are completely absent. Importantly, the marked defects in FMD in response to wall shear stress were reversed by the addition of sepiapterin, a stable precursor of the NOS cofactor BH 4 , in an NO-dependent fashion. Overall, these impairments in vasomotor regulation of coronary arterioles and FMD in diabetes likely contribute to an overall increase in the risk of coronary microvascular disease.…”
