In this study, EDV was assessed in healthy smokers and nonsmokers in vivo and, using serum from the same individuals, was related to the NO biosynthetic pathway in vitro.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>\n              <jats:italic>\n                <jats:bold>\n                  <jats:italic>Methods and Results<\/jats:italic>\n                <\/jats:bold>\n              <\/jats:italic>\n            <\/jats:bold>\n            Flow-mediated EDV of the brachial artery was measured in 23 male patients (8 nonsmokers and 15 smokers). Serum was collected, added to confluent (\u224885%) monolayers of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), and incubated for 12 hours. Basal and substance P\u2013stimulated NO production was measured. The HUVECs used for measuring basal NO production were lysed, and both endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) protein expression and eNOS activity were determined. EDV was lower in smokers compared with nonsmokers (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;0.001).
