Carbon monoxide: from toxin to endogenous modulator of cardiovascular functions
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1999 Carbon monoxide (CO) is a pollutant commonly recognized for its toxicological attributes, including CNS and cardiovascular effects. But CO is also formed endogenously in mammalian tissues. Endogenously formed CO normally arises from heme degradation in a

Haematologica, 2015 Heme oxygenase-1 is critical for iron recycling during red blood cell turnover, whereas its impact on steady-state erythropoiesis and red blood cell lifespan is not known. We show here that in 8- to 14-week old mice, heme oxygenase-1 deficiency adversely

Heme-oxygenases during erythropoiesis in K562 and human bone marrow cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 In mammalian cells, heme can be degraded by heme-oxygenases (HO). Heme-oxygenase 1 (HO-1) is known to be the heme inducible isoform, whereas heme-oxygenase 2 (HO-2) is the constitutive enzyme.

Transforming growth factor beta 2 and heme oxygenase 1 genes are risk factors for the cerebral malaria syndrome in Angolan children. [PDF]
, 2010 BACKGROUND: Cerebral malaria (CM) represents a severe outcome of the Plasmodium falciparum infection. Recent genetic studies have correlated human genes with severe malaria susceptibility, but there is little data on genetic variants that increase the ...

Activation of locus coeruleus heme oxygenase-carbon monoxide pathway promoted an anxiolytic-like effect in rats [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2016 The heme oxygenase-carbon monoxide pathway has been shown to play an important role in many physiological processes and is capable of altering nociception modulation in the nervous system by stimulating soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC).

Heme Oxygenase1 Level in Normotensive Pregnancy and Preeclampsia with Severe Features
Indonesian Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2016 Objective: To understand the relationship of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) level between normotensive pregnancy and preeclampsia with severe features. Method: The cross sectional study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty

Haematologica, 2015 Sickle cell disease is a risk factor for invasive bacterial infections, and splenic dysfunction is believed to be the main underlying cause. We have previously shown that the liberation of heme in acute hemolysis can induce heme oxygenase-1 during ...

BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2011 Background Both resveratrol and vitamin C (ascorbic acid) are frequently used in complementary and alternative medicine. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms for potential health benefits of resveratrol and its interactions with ...

A Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain induces a heme oxygenase dependent increase in Foxp3+ regulatory T cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 We investigated the consequences of feeding with a Lactobacillus species on the immune environment in GALT, and the role of dendritic cells and heme oxygenase-1 in mediating these responses.
