In this study we investigated the effects of ramiprilat on nitritc oxide (NO), cGMP, malondialdehyde(MDA) induced by oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The results demonstrated that MAD increased significantly,but NO and cGMP decreased significantly wheh endothelial cells stinlulated by OLDL. Nitro-LArginine, a compeptive inhibitor of NO synthase, increased the influensed NO and cGMP of ECstimulated by OLDL. But N-L-Arg could abolish the protective effects of ramiprilat partly. Theseresults suggest that the protective cffects o...
