Soluble Guanylate Cyclase Redox State Under Hypoxia or Hypoxia/Reoxygenation in Isolated Monkey Coronary Arteries

Abstract.: Hypoxia or hypoxia/reoxygenation impairs nitric oxide (NO)-mediated relaxation through the increase in superoxide generation in monkey coronary arteries. Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), the target enzyme of NO, has been shown to change from the NO-sensitive reduced form to the NO-insensi...
