Slow recovery of blood flow has been used as an index of reduced vascular reactivity in coronary arteries [ 36 ] . The hyperemic response to ischemia is dependent on the presence and response to metabolic factors and vasoactive substances such as nitric oxide and adenosine [ 37 ] . The prolonged recovery of blood flow in our study could be due to either a greater buildup of metabolic factors/vasoactive substances and/or a diminished ability to remove them in the older subjects.
The soluble guanylyl cyclases are important signaling molecules in animals that transduce signals mediated by the gaseous first messenger, nitric oxide [ 16 17 18 19 ] . In animals, NO functions as a neurotransmitter both in the central and peripheral nervous system.
A prolonged half time to recovery has been associated with a decreased nitric oxide and prostanoid production [ 8 ] and a loss of endothelium dependent vasodilation [ 9 ] . Reduced vascular reactivity is associated with many diseases that are associated with aging [ 15 16 17 ] . We did not find activity effects on half time to recovery.
NO is released by a cell through the action of the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) on its substrate, the amino acid arginine [ 20 ] . NO diffuses through the neighboring cells and elicits its functions by activating a soluble guanylyl cyclase (SGC) that synthesizes cGMP using GTP as a substrate [ 16 18 ] .
