We previously demonstrated augmented endothelium-derived nitric oxide (EDNO)-dependent pulmonary arterial dilation and increased arterial endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) levels in chronic hypoxic (CH) and monocrotaline (nonhypoxic) models of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Therefore, we hypothesized that the long-term elevation of arterial eNOS levels associated with CH is related to ...
