Figure 13. Determination <strong>of</strong> iNOS derived superoxide production: a) Superoxide levels<br />

were significantly lower in apoE/iNOS dko animals, compared to apoE ko controls (ESR<br />

measurements <strong>of</strong> SOD inhibitable CM . signal (**p≤0.01)). b) Additionally, HPLC measurements<br />

revealed that iNOS deletion reduced vascular superoxide production in apoE ko animals. ApoE<br />

ko had significantly higher vascular superoxide levels than C57Bl6 animals (*p≤0.01,<br />

**p≤0.0001). c) Acute inhibition <strong>of</strong> iNOS in vessels <strong>of</strong> apoE ko mice, using iNOS specific inhibitor<br />

1400W, significantly reduced superoxide production ( § p≤0.0001).<br />
