The specific hypothesis tested was that free fatty acid association with CD36 , a class B scavenger receptor, induces the activation of endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) ... Competition experiments with other free fatty acids and with a CD36 blocking antibody demonstrated that the effects of myristic acid on eNOS required association with CD36 Hürlimann et al., Herz 2005
(Cardiovascular Diseases...) :
In experimental studies certain protease inhibitors downregulated eNOS expression, and induced CD36 scavenger receptor expression
