| Abstract | Although NO derived from endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) is thought to be cardioprotective, the role of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) remains controversial. Using mice lacking iNOS (iNOS−/−), we studied (1) whether development of hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy, and dysfunction after deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)–salt would be less severe compared with wild-type controls (WT; C57BL/6J), and (2) whether the cardioprotection attributable to lack of iNOS is mediated by reduced oxidative stress. Mice were uninephrectomized and received either DOCA-salt (30 mg/mouse SC and 1% NaCl+0.2% KCl in drinking water) or vehicle (tap water) for 12 weeks. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was measured weekly. Left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) by echocardiography and cardiac response to isoproterenol (50 ng/mouse IV) were studied at the end of the experiment. Expression of eNOS and iNOS as well as the oxidative stress markers 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE, a marker of lipid peroxidation) and nitrotyrosine (a marker for peroxynitrite) were determined by Western blot and immunohistochemical staining, respectively. DOCA-salt increased SBP and LV weight similarly in both strains and decreased EF in WT but not in iNOS−/−. Cardiac contractile and relaxation responses to isoproterenol were greater, 4-HNE and nitrotyrosine levels were lower, and eNOS expression tended to be higher in iNOS−/−. We conclude that lack of iNOS leads to better preservation of cardiac function, which may be mediated by reduced oxidative stress and increased eNOS; however, it does not seem to play a significant role in preventing DOCA-salt–induced hypertension and hypertrophy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
