      Increased uncoupling of eNOS due to different factors—elevated levels of ADMA [53, 54 ], reduced association with Hsp90 [55 ], decreased tetrahydrobiopterin levels [56 ], oxidation of tetrathiolate cluster by hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide or peroxynitrite [57 –59 ]—reduce consumption of arginine through the NO pathway leading to vasoconstriction in pulmonary artery [54, 60 ].
