Measure
Protocol 1: AOC
measurements at baseline and 2 hours following the antioxidant cocktail that is comprised of over the counter vitamins (vitamin C 1000mg, vitamin E 600 IU, and alpha lipoic acid 600 mg) that will be given in two doses, 30 minutes apart. Vitamin C, 1000mg: Vitamin C (1000 mg) , Vitamin E (600 IU) , and alpha-lipoic acid (600 mg). all BID Vitamin E, 600IU: Vitamin C (1000 mg) , Vitamin E (600 IU) , and alpha-lipoic acid (600 mg). all BID Alpha Lipoic Acid, 600mg: Vitamin C (1000 mg) , Vitamin E (600 IU) , and alpha-lipoic acid (600 mg). all BID
Protocol 2: BH4 (5mg)
measurements at baseline and 3 hours following the single dose of 5mg/kg Kuvan® or sapropterin dihydrochloride which is a synthetic preparation of the dihydrochloride salt of naturally occurring tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4).BH4 has been shown in past studies to increase NO bioavailability. BH4: Kuvan® or sapropterin dihydrochloride is a synthetic preparation of the dihydrochloride salt of naturally occurring tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4). Subjects will receive an oral dose of 20 mg/kg of Kuvan® (Biomarin Pharmaceuticals Inc.)
Protocol 2: BH4 (20mg)
measurements at baseline and 3 hours following the single dose of 20mg/kg Kuvan® or sapropterin dihydrochloride which is a synthetic preparation of the dihydrochloride salt of naturally occurring tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4).BH4 has been shown in past studies to increase NO bioavailability.
