“It is possible that the effects of antioxidants may be a consequence of their enhancing or promoting the antiplatelet effects of NO derived from both endothelial cells and platelets.”
“The adaptive enhancement of NO synthesis and/or availability activates or increases expression of other protective factors, including heat shock proteins, antioxidants and prostaglandins, making the protection more robust and sustained.”

“ Antioxidants , such as melatonin, vitamin C, and vitamin E, probably play important roles in reducing or eliminating the oxidant damage produced by NO.”

“In addition, L-arginine, the substrate for NO synthesis, and the anti-oxidants ascorbate and α-tocopherol, are able to increase NO synthesis and bioavailability respectively.”

“Excess vascular oxidative stress has been associated with impaired NO release, and antioxidant status has been shown to alter endothelium-derived NO bioactivity.”

“The mechanism of the ascorbic acid effect is unknown, although it has been attributed to an antioxidant function of the vitamin to enhance the synthesis or prevent the breakdown of NO.”
