Griess method was used to measure plasma concentration of NO metabolites as described previously [49 (link)]. Briefly, plasma samples and standards (sodium nitrite, Sigma) were mixed with N-(1-Naphthyl) ethylenediamine dihydrochloride (NEDD, Sigma), sulfanilamide (SULF, Sigma), and vanadium chloride (Sigma) and incubated at 37 °C for 30 min. Then, 100 μl of prepared solutions was added to each well, and the absorbance of well-plate was detected at 540 nm.
