1 DHT treatment, in vivo or ex vivo, increased nuclear NFkappaB activation in cerebral arteries and increased levels of the proinflammatory products of NFkappaB activation, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Dihydrotestosterone nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
2 DHT treatment, in vivo or ex vivo, increased nuclear NFkappaB activation in cerebral arteries and increased levels of the proinflammatory products of NFkappaB activation, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Dihydrotestosterone nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
3 Effects of DHT on COX-2 and iNOS were attenuated by flutamide. Dihydrotestosterone nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
4 In conclusion, activation of the NFkappaB-mediated COX-2/iNOS pathway by the selective androgen receptor agonist, DHT, results in a state of vascular inflammation. Dihydrotestosterone nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
