1 RESULTS: In cultured BAEC, bezafibrate significantly upregulated eNOS expressions at protein and mRNA levels in a concentration-dependent fashion (50 - 200 micromol/L) (P < 0.05), and increased nitric oxide (NO) production, respectively[control (14.97 +/- 1.29) micromol/L, different concentration groups (25.12 +/- 1.25) micromol/L, (30.12 +/- 1.85) micromol/L, (33.47 +/- 1.22) micromol/L], and enhanced phosphorylation of eNOS-ser-1179 site (P < 0.05), but not eNOS-thr-497 site. Serine nitric oxide synthase 3 Bos taurus
2 CONCLUSIONS: Bezafibrate can upregulate eNOS expression, enhance eNOS-ser-1179 site phosphorylation, increase NO production and stabilize eNOS mRNA through PPARalpha dependent pathway and PPARalpha independent MAPK and PI3K pathways. Serine nitric oxide synthase 3 Bos taurus
