Synthesis, actions and perspectives of nitric oxide in photosynthetic organisms
(Elsevier, 2017)
After the strong influence of a series of works made around the turn of the century, nitric oxide (NO) is now considered a signal molecule with broad participation in the physiological processes of plants. NO acts as a ...
Induction of nitric oxide synthase activity in adrenal cells
(Taylor & Francis, 2000-12)
The induction of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) II by bacterial lypopolysaccharide (LPS) was studied in a steroidogenic mouse tumor adrenal cell line (Y1). Conditioned media from LPS-stimulated peritoneal macrophages induced ...
Nitric oxide: modeling of synthesis and inhibition
(Research Signpost, 2007)
Nitric oxide (NO) is a ubiquitous biological messenger involved in a variety of physiological processes that acts as a signal transducer but also exerts a variety of regulatory and cytostatic functions. Nitric oxide synthases ...
Immuno and Cytochemical Localization of Trypanosoma cruzi Nitric Oxide Synthase
(Instituto de Histología y Embriología, 2000-12)
The localization and subcellular disstribution of Trypasoma cruzi nitric oxide synthase was investigated in epimastigote cells by immunocytochemistry at electron and light microscope level, using a polyclonal antibody to ...
Activation of nitric oxide synthase through muscarinic receptors in rat parotid gland
(Elsevier Science, 2002-08)
Muscarinic receptors play an important role in secretory and vasodilator responses in rat salivary glands. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity was found coupled to muscarinic receptor activation as well as to nitric ...
Postnatal nitric oxide inhibition modifies neurotensin effect on ATPase activity
(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2011-12)
We have previously showed that peptide neurotensin inhibits neuronal Na+, K+-ATPase activity, an effect which involves high affinity neurotensin receptor. Nitric oxide (NO) acts as a neurotransmitter or as a neuromodulator ...
Hypothyroidism: Age-related influence on cardiovascular nitric oxide system in rats
(W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2012-09)
This study investigates whether changes in nitric oxide (NO) production participate in the cardiovascular manifestations of hypothyroidism and whether these changes are age-related. Sprague-Dawley rats aged 2 and 18 months ...
Induction of redox changes, inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 by chronic cadmium exposure in mouse peritoneal macrophages
(Elsevier Ireland, 2003-11-30)
Redox changes and the secretion of inflammatory mediators were investigated in resident peritoneal macrophages of mice chronically exposed to cadmium (Cd, 15 ppm for 2 months) through drinking water. Our results showed ...
Differential activation of nitric oxide synthase through muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in rat salivary glands
(Elsevier, 2000-03)
Muscarinic receptors play an important role in secretory and vasodilator responses in rat salivary glands. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) appears to be one of the multiple effectors coupled to muscarinic receptors in both ...
Role of endogenous nitric oxide in unilateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction in children
(Nature Publishing Group, 2003-12)
Background. Obstructive nephropathy leads to tubulointerstitial fibrosis and loss of renal function. Nitric oxide has been shown to have antifibrotic properties. We examined nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity and expression ...
