Reversal of Cardiac Hypertrophy and Fibrosis from Pressure-Overload by Tetrahydrobiopterin: Efficacy of re-coupling nitric oxide synthase as a therapeutic strategy

BACKGROUND: Sustained pressure-overload induces pathologic cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction. Oxidative stress linked to nitric oxide synthase (NOS) uncoupling may play an important role. We tested whether tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) can re-couple NOS and reverse pre-established advanced hypertrophy...
