Spotlight on ROS and β3‐Adrenoreceptors Fighting in Cancer Cells
The role of ROS and RNS is a long‐standing debate in cancer. Increasing the concentration of ROS reaching the toxic threshold can be an effective strategy for the reduction of tumor cell viability. On the other hand, cancer cells, by maintaining intracellular ROS concentration at an intermediate level called “mild oxidative stress,” promote the ...

Enzymatic Isomerization of Sepiapterin to 6-1'-Hydroxy-2' -oxopropyl 7,8-dihydropterin
6-1'-Hydroxy-2' -oxopropyl 7,8-dihydropterin, which has been believed to be too labile to actually exist, was produced from sepiapterin (6-lactoyl 7,8-dihydropterin).

Progress and Promise of Nitric Oxide‐Releasing Platforms
Nitric oxide (NO) is a highly potent two‐atom radical with a wide spectrum of physiological activities. However, it has short biological half‐life in human tissues and its therapeutic effect is concentration dependent and tissue‐specific. Diverse strategies designed to date to overcome the challenges associated with biological administration of NO are ...

Neopterin is a sensitive and specific biomarker of intracellular pathogen infection and chronic inflammation, and affected by environmental, life‐history, and sex‐contextual factors. This review offers best‐practice guidelines and practical advice on sample collection, storage, and analysis in primates when used for ecoimmunological conservation and ...

Nitric oxide synthases (NOSs) are a family of enzymes that are responsible for the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO) from the amino acid L‐arginine in the body. Among the three key NOSs, the expression of inducible NOS (iNOS) can only be induced by inflammatory stimuli and contribute to the large amount of NO production. iNOS‐derived NO plays an important

Biopterin as a stable metabolite is produced by oxidation of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4). It is known that many diseases may cause changes in BH4 concentration and/or dihydropteridine reductase (DHPR) enzyme activity. There is only a limited number

Glucocorticoid-induced hypertension and the nitric oxide system [PDF]
Glucocorticoid hormones, both naturally occurring and synthetic, have long been recognized as a major cause of hypertension. There are well-described experimental models of glucocorticoid-induced hypertension, such as adrenocorticotropic hormone-and ...
