NAD(P)H:Quinone Oxidoreductase 1 Activation Reduces Blood Pressure Through Regulation of Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Acetylation in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats

Abstract

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate that eNOS acetylation can be regulated by NQO1 activation in an SIRT1-dependent manner, which is correlated with the relief of hypertension. These findings provide strong evidence that NQO1 might be a new therapeutic target for hypertension.
