Is inflammation-induced vasoconstrictor hyporeactivity caused by oxidative stress?
E. coli-endotoxemia reduces FBF responsiveness to vasoconstrictors. The hyporeactivity can be corrected by high doses of vitamin C, suggesting that oxidative stress may represent an important target for inflammation-induced impaired vascular function.
