Guanosine triphosphate pathway tetrahydrobiopterin synthesis antagonist and / or pterin salvage pathway tetrahydrobiopterin synthesis antagonists are administered to inhibit nitric oxide synthesis from arginine in vascular cells in a subject in need of such inhibition (e.g., for prophylactic or curative effect for endotoxin- or cytokine-induced hypotension or for restoration of vascular contractile sensitivity to pressor agents in the treatment of such hypotension). The tetrahydrobiopterin synthesis antagonist may be administered with alpha 1-adrenergic agonist or with nitric oxide synthase inhibitor. The tetrahydrobiopterin synthesis antagonists are also administered to attenuate inflammation caused by induced nitric oxide production in immune cells. Unwanted counterproductive or side effects can be eliminated or ameliorated by administration additionally of levodopa with or without carbidopa and L-5-hydroxytryptophane.

The present invention relates to methods and compositions that inhibit the effects of nitric oxide for inhibiting post-traumatic immunodepression. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that, in a murine model system of trauma, genetic or chemical reduction of nitric oxide inhibited the development of immunodepression. Accordingly, the present invention provides for methods and compositions to be administered to subjects, post-trauma, that inhibit the effects of nitric oxide by inhibiting inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and / or scavenge nitric oxide.
