    摘要: The present invention describes rapid non-invasive methods for measuring vasodilation or changes in blood flow in a patient following administration of at least one compound that donates, transfers or releases nitric oxide, elevates endogenous levels of endothelium-derived relaxing factor, stimulates endogenous synthesis of nitric oxide or is a substrate for nitric oxide synthase and/or at least one vasoactive agent. The method comprises administration of at least one compound to the patient followed by monitoring the temperature change of an area of interest using infrared thermography.

    摘要: The present invention provides methods of promoting synthesis of nitric oxide or endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) in hypoxic mammalian tissues by administering at least one N-hydroxyguanidine compound that is a substrate of nitric oxide synthase and at least one thromboxane inhibitor, and, optionally, one or more vasoactive agents. The present invention also provides methods of promoting vasorelaxation and treating sexual dysfunctions in patients by administering at least one N-hydroxyguanidine compounds that is a substrate for nitric oxide synthase and at least one thromboxane inhibitor, and, optionally, one or more vasoactive agents. The present invention also provides methods for treating clinical conditions resulting from hypoxic conditions such as pulmonary disease, cardiovascular disorders, circulatory hypoxia, specific organ hypoxia, localized hypoxia, edema, central nervous system disorders, memory loss, or arterial disease. The present invention also provides methods for treating clinical conditions resulting from a high level of arginase activity, such as, heart disease, systemic hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, sexual dysfunction, autoimmune disease, chronic renal failure and cerebral vasospasm. The present invention also provides methods for treating clinical conditions associated with a deficient nitric oxide pathway by the administration of at least one N-hydroxyguanidine compound and at least one thromboxane inhibitor, and, optionally, one or more vasoactive agents. The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one N-hydroxyguanidine compound and at least one thromboxane inhibitor, and, optionally, one or more vasoactive agents.
