  • Nitrate agents (nitroglycerin preparations, etc.) have been considered to be effective as exogenous NO donors for treating angina, heart failure or the like among the above diseases, but they show tolerance over long-term use. Namely, thiol groups (SH groups) become depleted during long-term use of nitrate agents, because SH groups are indispensable for NO production from these nitrate agents. Moreover, the balance of other endogenous substances may be disturbed during long-term use, because NO production requires metabolic enzymes and other NO-related materials such as nitrosothiol are produced during the reaction.

  • PCR was performed using cDNA synthesized by the RT reaction as a template.
  • the RT reaction solution was added to a mixture of 5′- and 3′-primers for each of e-NOS to be detected and for malate dehyadrogenase (MDH) used as an internal standard, PCR buffer, 2.5 mM dNTP mixed solution and Taq DNA polymerase.
  • MDH malate dehyadrogenase
  • the reaction mixture was overlaid with mineral oil and centrifuged, after which the reaction was started in an automatic PCR apparatus.
  • PCR products were obtained by running 30 cycles wherein each cycle consists of 94° C. for 30 seconds, 50° C. for 30 seconds and 72° C. for 30 seconds.
  • the primers used for the detection of e-NOS and MDH were selected based on the report by Ujiie. K.
  • the base sequences of the primers used for the detection of e-NOS were TACGGAGCAGCAAATCCAC (SEQ ID NO: 1) for 5′ primer and CAGGCTGCAGTCCTTTGATC (SEQ ID NO: 2) for 3′ primer.

  • DOCA-salt-hypertension rats exhibited a rise in blood pressure, a decrease in NO 2 /NO 3 in urine and a decrease in NOS expression in renal tissues, indicating that dysfunction of vasoendothelial cells occurred in this model rats.
  • a decrease in BP in urine was also observed in this model rats.
  • oral administration of BH4 suppressed the rise in blood pressure and led to an increase of NO 2 /NO 3 in urine and an increase of NOS expression in renal tissues, indicating that BH4 is useful for the treatment of diseases caused by decreased endogenous NO production through activating the function of NOS (through regulation of NOS level/ NOS activity).
  • DOCA deoxycorticosterone acetate
