In rodent blood and isolated blood vessels, it has been reported that inhibition of CA leads to increased generation of nitric oxide (NO) from nitrite and vascular relaxation <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>. We tested the physiological relevance of augmented NO generation by CA from nitrite with acetazolamide in anaesthetized pigs during alveolar hypoxia <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic>. We found that acetazolamide prevents HPV in anaesthetized pigs, as in other mammalian species. A single nebulization of sodium nitrite reduces HPV, but this action wanes in the succeeding 3\u00a0h of hypoxia as nitrite is metabolized and excreted. Pulmonary artery pressure reduction and NO formation as measured by exhaled gas concentration from inhaled sodium nitrite were not increased by acetazolamide during alveolar hypoxia. Thus, our data argue against a physiological role of carbonic anhydrase as a nitrous anhydrase or nitrite reductase as a mechanism for its inhibition of HPV in the lung and blood <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1113\/jp275894","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,16]],"date-time":"2018-04-16T16:15:08Z","timestamp":1523895308000},"page":"1045-1058","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Carbonic anhydrase is not a relevant nitrite reductase or nitrous anhydrase in the lung"],"prefix":"10.1113","volume":"597","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5875-8250","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Philipp A.","family":"Pickerodt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Operative Intensive Care Medicine, Campus Charit\u00e9 Mitte and Campus Virchow\u2010Klinikum, Charit\u00e9 \u2013 Universit\u00e4tsmedizin, Corporate Member of Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin Humboldt Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin and Berlin Institute of Health  Berlin Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sebastian","family":"Kronfeldt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Operative Intensive Care Medicine, Campus Charit\u00e9 Mitte and Campus Virchow\u2010Klinikum, Charit\u00e9 \u2013 Universit\u00e4tsmedizin, Corporate Member of Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin Humboldt Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin and Berlin Institute of Health  Berlin Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4719-2452","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martin","family":"Russ","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Operative Intensive Care Medicine, Campus Charit\u00e9 Mitte and Campus Virchow\u2010Klinikum, Charit\u00e9 \u2013 Universit\u00e4tsmedizin, Corporate Member of Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin Humboldt Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin and Berlin Institute of Health  Berlin Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adrian","family":"Gonzalez\u2010Lopez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Operative Intensive Care Medicine, Campus Charit\u00e9 Mitte and Campus Virchow\u2010Klinikum, Charit\u00e9 \u2013 Universit\u00e4tsmedizin, Corporate Member of Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin Humboldt Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin and Berlin Institute of Health  Berlin Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Philipp","family":"Lother","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Operative Intensive Care Medicine, Campus Charit\u00e9 Mitte and Campus Virchow\u2010Klinikum, Charit\u00e9 \u2013 Universit\u00e4tsmedizin, Corporate Member of Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin Humboldt Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin and Berlin Institute of Health  Berlin Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elvira","family":"Steiner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Operative Intensive Care Medicine, Campus Charit\u00e9 Mitte and Campus Virchow\u2010Klinikum, Charit\u00e9 \u2013 Universit\u00e4tsmedizin, Corporate Member of Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin Humboldt Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin and Berlin Institute of Health  Berlin Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katja","family":"Vorbrodt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Operative Intensive Care Medicine, Campus Charit\u00e9 Mitte and Campus Virchow\u2010Klinikum, Charit\u00e9 \u2013 Universit\u00e4tsmedizin, Corporate Member of Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin Humboldt Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin and Berlin Institute of Health  Berlin Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thilo","family":"Busch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine University of Leipzig  Leipzig Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7690-9921","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Willehad","family":"Boemke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Operative Intensive Care Medicine, Campus Charit\u00e9 Mitte and Campus Virchow\u2010Klinikum, Charit\u00e9 \u2013 Universit\u00e4tsmedizin, Corporate Member of Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin Humboldt Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin and Berlin Institute of Health  Berlin Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1958-9364","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roland C.
