3.8 iNOS deletion influences NADPH oxidase mediated<br />

superoxide production<br />

Since iNOS expression may regulate NADPH oxidase activity and<br />

expression we determined the contribution <strong>of</strong> NADPH oxidase to superoxide<br />

formation in apoE ko vessels. Our results show that apocynin, a NADPH<br />

oxidase inhibitor significantly reduced superoxide levels compared to basal<br />

superoxide production <strong>of</strong> apoE ko vessels (13±0.6 AU/µg protein, (n=13) vs.<br />

19±1.0 AU/µg protein, (n=12), p
