title: 4-hydroxynonenal-induced relaxation of human mesenteric arteries.
abstract: The effect of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), a circulating lipid peroxidation product, on the vascular tone of human mesenteric arteries is studied. 4-HNE promotes relaxation of human mesenteric arterial rings in a concentration-dependent manner. Removal of the endothelium or treatment with N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME; 10(-4) M) partially prevented 4-HNE-induced relaxation, thus suggesting the intervention of nitric oxide from endothelial origin in the vascular effects of 4-HNE.
