“Neither the superoxide dismutase mimetic, tiron nor the thiol-reducing agent N-acetyl-L-cysteine modified the hyperpolarization evoked by 0.1 microM acetylcholine but each produced a partial and significant inhibition of the hyperpolarization induced by 1 microM acetylcholine.”

“By … with NAC (15 mmol/… by ACh (95.0% +/- 7.9% versus 62.3% +/- 7.6% for control; ACh dose, 1 mumol/L; P < .001) or by A23187, …, NO-mediated vasodilator (91.6% +/- 9.6% versus 68.3% +/- 12.1% for control; A23187 dose, 1 mumol/L; P < .001).”
“Long-term oral administration of N-acetylcysteine did not alter responses to nitroglycerin but completely prevented the defective relaxation to acetylcholine.”
“It was also demonstrated that endothelium-dependent relaxations to acetylcholine were enhanced by captopril, GSH, MPG and NAC but not by enalaprilat.”
