Nitric oxide (NO) depletion in rats induces severe endothelial dysfunction within 4 days. Subsequently, hypertension and renal injury develop, which are ameliorated by alpha-tocopherol (VitE) cotreatment. The hypothesis of the present study was that NO synthase (NOS) inhibition induces a renal cortical antioxidative transcriptional response and invokes pro-oxidative and proinflammatory gene expression due to elimination of dampening effects of NO and enhanced oxidative stress.
