Nitric Oxide in the Airways

The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice, 2007
This review briefly explains the basic facts about nitric oxide, which is entering clinical practice as a measure of lower airways inflammation and is likely also to be employed in otorhinolaryngological practice.These include the validity of nasal nitric oxide in diagnosing primary ciliary dyskinesia and in monitoring the response to chronic ...

Nitric Oxide Donors

Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine, 2000
Abstract.Nitric oxide (NO) donors are pharmacologically active substances that release NOin vivoorin vitro. NO has a variety of functions such as the release of prostanoids, inhibition of platelet aggregation, effect on angiogenesis, and production of oxygen free radicals.

Oxidized lipoproteins and nitric oxide

Current Opinion in Lipidology, 1996
Nitric oxide has an important biological role as endothelium-derived relaxing factor, a key agent in the maintenance of normal vascular tone. It can also suppress lipoprotein oxidation, a potential anti-atherogenic property. However, in arteries subject to hypercholesterolemia or atherosclerosis, whereas nitric oxide synthesis is normal its biological ...

Nitric Oxide in Atherosclerosis

Mini-Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry, 2002
*NO is produced endogenously from L-arginine by NOSs. Among its multiple activities, the homeostatic control of the vascular endothelium is crucial for atherosclerosis, a pathogenic condition connected with elevated levels of LDL, the main plasma cholesterol carrier.

Nitric oxide in rheumatology

Joint Bone Spine, 2001
Nitric oxide (NO) is attracting considerable interest because it mediates many functions. This gas is ubiquitously produced in the body by three enzymes, called NO synthases. Two NO synthases are constitutively expressed, one in the nervous system and the other in the blood vessels, where it regulates tissue perfusion.

Nitric oxide and the liver

Liver, 2001
Abstract: In recent years, the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the pathogenesis of liver disease and its complications has been extensively studied. There remain, however, many areas of controversy. In particular, the effect of NO on vascular function in the systemic circulation and the hepatic microcirculation has received the greatest attention.

Modulation of Prostaglandin Biosynthesis by Nitric Oxide and Nitric Oxide Donors

Pharmacological Reviews, 2005
The biosynthesis and release of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandins (PGs) share a number of similarities. Two major forms of nitric-oxide synthase (NOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes have been identified to date. Under normal circumstances, the constitutive isoforms of these enzymes (constitutive NOS and COX-1) are found in virtually all organs ...

Nitric Oxide in Migraine

CNS & Neurological Disorders - Drug Targets, 2007
The potent vasodilatator and messenger molecule nitric oxide (NO) is believed to play a key role in migraine pathogenesis. NO donors such as glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) can cause headache. Infusion of GTN leads to a migraine attack in migraineurs with a latency of 4 to 6 hours.

Nitric oxide and cancer

Medical Hypotheses, 1996
The possibility that the overall process of carcinogenesis may be linked to the deficiency of nitric oxide in a biological cell is examined. A hypothetical model of how this might operate to produce subtle changes in a cell resulting in and/or facilitating carcinogenesis is suggested.

Nitric oxide and mitochondria

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2007
Nitric oxide (NO) and its derivatives (reactive nitrogen species) have multiple effects on mitochondria that impact on cell physiology and cell death. Mitochondria may produce and consume NO and NO stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis, apparently via cGMP upregulation of transcriptional factors.
