Abstract
⺠The nuclear enzyme PARP-1 is a downstream effector of oxidative stress. ⺠PARP-1 protects from oxidative stress induced endothelial dysfunction. ⺠This effect is mediated through inhibition of vasoconstrictor prostanoid production. ⺠Thus, PARP-1 may play a protective role as antioxidant defense mechanism.
