“…However, DPI is a relatively non-specific inhibitor and it is possible that other flavoprotein reductase enzymes are contributing to nitric oxide formation. We show that apocynin, an inhibitor of the NADPH oxidase, a flavoprotein reductase [29], abolishes nitrite-induced cardioprotection. This novel finding may explain why DPI abolishes the protective effect of nitrite and identifies a component of another mechanism by which nitrite may confer its salubrious actions.…”

“…Xanthine oxidase (XO), a key enzyme of purine catabolism, is responsible for the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) via several pathways that include nitric oxide (NO) and calcium signaling 7, 8. Intracellular Ca 2+ handling is a critical regulator of action potential duration, and mechanical activity of cardiomyocytes via excitation‐contraction coupling 9.…”

“…It has been discovered recently that cocaine administration is associated with severe oxidative stress in the heart (Moritz et al, 2003;Pacifici et al, 2003;Kovacic, 2005;Ren et al, 2006;Isabelle et al, 2007). Although there are several potential enzymatic sources of ROS existing in the heart, in an animal model of chronic cocaine administration, treatment with apocynin (an NADPH oxidase inhibitor) has been reported to be effective in reducing ROS generation and to restore the cardiac output, stroke volume, and fractional shortening, suggestive of the involvement of an NADPH oxidase (Isabelle et al, 2007).…”
