Nitric oxide-mediated modulation of the murine locomotor network [PDF]
CD was supported by a BBSRC studentshipSpinal motor control networks are regulated by neuromodulatory systems to allow adaptability of movements. The present study aimed to elucidate the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the modulation of mammalian spinal ...

Nitric Oxide in Hypertension [PDF]
Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and reduction of elevated blood pressure significantly reduces the risk of cardiovascular events. Endothelial dysfunction, which is characterized by impairment of nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, is an important risk factor for both hypertension and cardiovascular disease and may ...

Effects of nitric oxide synthase inhibitor - Nitro-L-Arginine Methyl Ester, on silica-inducated inflammatory reaction and apoptosis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Although nitric oxide is overproduced by macrophages and neutrophils after exposure to silica, its role in silica-induced inflammatory reaction and apoptosis needs further clarification.

Insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase at serine-615 contributes to nitric oxide synthesis [PDF]
Insulin stimulates endothelial NO (nitric oxide) synthesis via PKB (protein kinase B)/Akt-mediated phosphorylation and activation of eNOS (endothelial NO synthase) at Ser-1177.

Differential sensitivity of basal and acetylcholine-induced activity of nitric oxide to blockade by asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) in the rat aorta [PDF]
<b>Background and purpose</b>: Previous work has shown that NG-monomethyl-l-arginine (l-NMMA) paradoxically inhibits basal, but not ACh-stimulated activity of nitric oxide in rat aorta.

The gaseous messenger molecule, nitric oxide : a modulator of locomotor movements during early amphibian development [PDF]
1. The free radical gas nitric oxide (NO) is now recognised as a ubiquitous and versatile signalling molecule and the investigation of its biological roles has involved a wide range of scientific disciplines in many different species. Yet despite this,

Biochemistry of Nitric Oxide [PDF]
Nitric oxide (NO) a free radical having both cytoprotective as well as tumor promoting agent is formed from l-arginine by converting it to l-citrulline via nitric oxide synthase enzymes. The reaction product of nitric oxide with superoxide generates potent oxidizing agent, peroxynitrite which is the main mediator of tissue and cellular injury ...
