Decreased leg blood flow and vascular conductance are present in elderly compared to young subjects during whole body exercise [ 18 ] and in response to reactive hyperemia [ 13 ] . Decreased basal limb blood flow was related to increased vasoconstriction in the elderly compared to younger individuals [ 19 ] . However, not all studies have shown age related changes in blood flow.
For some time, it has been postulated that this ischemic injury occurs on the basis of decreased renal blood flow secondary to renal vasoconstriction.
At high concentrations, it may be that NO reaches pulmonary vessels perfusing non-ventilated lung areas and worsens arterial oxygenation by inhibiting hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction as observed in patients 1, 2, 6, 8 and 15.
Under more physiologically relevant levels of hypoxia, the central role of eNOS in protecting against hypertension is supported by our observation that loss of eNOS leads to increased acute hypoxic vasoconstriction and development of pulmonary hypertension [ 9, 10, 11, 12].
In addition, exogenous catecholamines, used to maintain arterial pressure during septic shock, interfere with hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction: vasodilators like isoproterenol or dobutamine tend to inhibit hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction whereas vasoconstrictors like dopamine, epinephrine or norepinephrine tend to reinforce hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction.
