Murine and rat cavernosal responses to endothelin-1 and urotensin-II Vasoactive Peptide Symposium
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2008)
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) and urotensin-II (U-II) are the most potent constrictors of human vessels. Although the cavernosal tissue is highly responsive to ET-1, no information exists on the effects of U-II on cavernosal function. ...
Increased vascular O-GlcNAcylation augments reactivity to constrictor stimuli - Vasoactive Peptide Symposium
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2008)
O-linked N-acetylglucosaminylation (O-GlcNAcylation) plays a role in many aspects of protein function. Whereas elevated O-GlcNAc levels contribute to diabetes-related end-organ damage, O-GlcNAcylation is also physiologically ...
Ectonucleotidase activities are altered in serum and platelets of L-NAME-treated rats
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2008)
It is well known that hypertension is closely associated to the development of vascular diseases and that the inhibition of nitric oxide biosynthesis by administration of N omega-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride ...
Hepatoprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of silibinin on experimental preeclampsia induced by 1-NAME in rats
(Pergamon-Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2012-09-04)
Aims: Inhibition of nitric oxide synthase with N-omega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) has been employed as an experimental model of human preeclampsia. This study determined the protective effect of silibinin, a ...
Perinatal lead exposure affects nitric oxide and cyclooxygenase pathways in aorta of weaned rats
(Oxford University Press, 2008-05-01)
Perinatal Pb exposure may modulate arterial tone through nitric oxide (NO) and cyclooxygenase products. To investigate this, Wistar dams received 1000 ppm of Pb or sodium acetate (control) in drinking water during pregnancy ...

L-NAME-treatment alters ectonucleotidase activities in kidney membranes of rats
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2010)
Aims: To investigate the effect of N omega-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester CL-NAME) treatment, known to induce a sustained elevation of blood pressure, on ectonucleotidase activities in kidney membranes of rats. Main methods: ...

Evidence of a Ca(2+)-(center dot)NO-cGMP signaling pathway controlling zoospore biogenesis in the aquatic fungus Blastocladiella emersonii
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2009)
The sporulation stage of the aquatic fungus Blastocladiella emersonii culminates with the formation and release to the medium of a number of zoospores, which are motile cells responsible for the dispersal of the fungus. ...
Vascular effects of long-term propranolol administration after chronic nitric oxide blockade
(Elsevier B.V., 2007-10-01)
Long-term propranolol treatment reduces arterial blood pressure in hypertensive individuals mainly by reducing peripheral vascular resistance, but mechanisms underlying their vasodilatory effect remain poorly investigated. ...
