We hypothesized that<jats:sc>l<\/jats:sc>-arginine, the precursor of nitric oxide (NO), might protect against atherogenesis and endothelial dysfunction caused by SHS. The effects of<jats:sc>l<\/jats:sc>-arginine supplementation (2.25% solution ad libitum) and SHS (smoking chambers for 10 weeks) were examined in 32 hypercholesterolemic rabbits. Eight normal rabbits served as controls. Acetylcholine- and nitroglycerin-induced vasorelaxation was assessed in aortic rings precontracted with norepinephrine. Hypercholesterolemia increased intimal lesion area (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=0.012), reduced endothelium-dependent relaxation (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=0.009), and reduced basal (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=0.005) and stimulated (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&lt;0.0005) production of NOs. SHS increased intimal lesion area (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=0.01) norepinephrine-induced contraction (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=0.001) and reduced endothelium-dependent relaxation (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=0.02). SHS-induced increase in norepinephrine contraction was abolished by the inhibition of NO synthase and removal of endothelium.<jats:sc>l<\/jats:sc>-Arginine improved endothelium-dependent relaxation (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=0.001) and attenuated SHS-induced endothelial dysfunction (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=0.007) and atherogenesis (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=0.001). Basal production of nitrogen oxides correlated inversely with intimal lesion area (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>=\u22120.66;<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&lt;0.0005) and stimulated production of NOs correlated with endothelium-dependent relaxation (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>=\u22120.66;<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&lt;0.001). SHS causes endothelial dysfunction and increased adrenergic responsiveness and atherogenesis in hypercholesterolemic rabbits. Chronic dietary supplementation with the NO precursor<jats:sc>l<\/jats:sc>-arginine mitigates these effects. The adverse vascular consequences of SHS appear to be mediated via deleterious effects on endothelial function.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/01.hyp.34.1.44","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,12]],"date-time":"2012-06-12T00:53:46Z","timestamp":1339462426000},"page":"44-50","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Effects of<scp>l<\/scp>-Arginine on Atherogenesis and Endothelial Dysfunction due to Secondhand Smoke"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Stuart J.","family":"Hutchison","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Division of Cardiology University of California, San Francisco, Moffit Hospital Room 1186, San Francisco, and the Falk Cardiovascular Research Center\/Division of Cardiovascular Medicine (J.P.C.), Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, Calif.
