    Highlights • Endothelial cells express four NADPH oxidase isoforms: NOX1, 2, 4, and 5. • NOX1, 2, and 5 make superoxide and cause endothelial dysfunction and vascular disease. • NOX4 generates hydrogen peroxide and exerts protective effects on the vessel wall. • Selective inhibitors of NOX1/2 (e.g., apocynin) hold promise as novel therapies for vascular disease.
