Popis: Chronic (>24 h) exposure of arsenite, an environmental toxicant, has shown the decreased nitric oxide (NO) production in endothelial cells (EC) by decreasing endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) expression and/or its phosphorylation at serine 1179 (eNOS-Ser(1179) in bovine sequence), which is associated with increased risk of vascular diseases. Here, we investigated the acute (
