The findings are consistent with the view that the cerebral arteriolar dilation from bradykinin is caused by oxygen radicals generated in association with accelerated arachidonate metabolism via cyclooxygenase, whereas the dilation from acetylcholine is caused by an endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) similar to that generated by this agent in large vessels in vitro.

CONCLUSION: Findings suggested that: (i) in normal physiological conditions, the relaxant effect of SOD is related to the inhibition of superoxide anion radicals (*O (2)(-))-induced endothelium-derived relaxing factor/nitric oxide (EDRF/NO) destruction in the rat aorta; (ii) in diabetic state, excess *O (2)(-) increasingly inhibits basal EDRF/NO, and the dismutation of excess *O (2)(-) to H (2) O (2) is enhanced by exogenous SOD.
