Genetic Susceptibility to Retinopathy of Prematurity: A Paradigm for Preterm Disease Traits
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a vasoproliferative retinal disorder in premature infants that can lead to blindness and the incidence is increasing with increased survival of infants born at very early gestational age and low birth weight.

Differential effects of heat shock protein 90 and serine 1179 phosphorylation on endothelial nitric oxide synthase activity and on its cofactors. [PDF]
Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is responsible for maintaining systemic blood pressure, vascular remodeling and angiogenesis. Previous studies showed that bovine eNOS serine 1179 (Serine 1177 for human eNOS) phosphorylation enhanced NO synthesis.

The Characteristics and Regulatory Mechanisms of Superoxide Generation from eNOS Reductase Domain. [PDF]
In addition to superoxide (O2.-) generation from nitric oxide synthase (NOS) oxygenase domain, a new O2.- generation site has been identified in the reductase domain of inducible NOS (iNOS) and neuronal NOS (nNOS).

Deciphering the Binding of Caveolin-1 to Client Protein Endothelial Nitric-oxide Synthase (eNOS)
Background: One of the most significant client proteins of Cav-1 is the endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS), but their specific binding site is unknown.

Myocardial constitutive No production depends on the activity of both endothelial and neuronal NOS (eNOS and nNOS, respectively). Stimulation of myocardial β(3)-adrenergic receptor (β(3)-AR) produces a negative inotropic effect that is dependent on eNOS.

Serine 1179 Phosphorylation of Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Increases Superoxide Generation and Alters Cofactor Regulation. [PDF]
Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is responsible for maintaining systemic blood pressure, vascular remodeling and angiogenesis. In addition to producing NO, eNOS can also generate superoxide (O2-.) in the absence of the cofactor ...

Effects of Nitric Oxide Synthase Isoforms During Experimental Tooth Movement
Aim:Many systemic/local factors take part in the process of bone-remodeling. Nitric oxide (NO), an important intercellular signal modulator produced by osteoblasts, is a potent regulator of bone-remodeling.
