- W2010402015 abstract "We sought to test whether tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) supplementation improves nitric oxide (NO) bioactivity in smokers.In smokers, endothelium-derived NO bioactivity is impaired. BH4 is an essential cofactor of NO synthase, and its deficiency decreases NO bioactivity.Sapropterin hydrochloride, an active analogue of BH4 (2 mg/kg body weight), was administered orally to healthy male smokers and age-matched nonsmokers. Before and 3 and 24 h after sapropterin, we measured plasma levels of BH4 and examined flow-mediated vasodilation (FMV) of the brachial artery by high resolution ultrasonography, a noninvasive test of endothelial function.Basal plasma levels of BH4 were not different between smokers and nonsmokers. Sapropterin administration increased plasma levels of BH4 by threefold at 3 h, which returned to the baseline at 24 h. Before sapropterin, FMV was significantly smaller in smokers (p = 0.0002). Sapropterin significantly augmented endothelium-dependent vasodilation in smokers, but did not affect it in nonsmokers (p = 0.001 by analysis of variance [ANOVA]). Coadministration of N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA), an NO synthase inhibitor (20 micromol), into the brachial artery completely abolished the vasodilatory effects of sapropterin (p = 0.002 by ANOVA). Endothelium-independent vasodilation by glyceryl trinitrate was not different between smokers and nonsmokers and was not altered by BH4.We demonstrated that BH4 supplementation improved bioactivity of endothelium-derived NO in smokers. These observations strongly suggest that decreased NO-dependent vasodilation in smokers could be related to reduced bioactivity of BH4." @default.
