Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Restores Diabetic Dentin Regeneration via AKT/Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Axis [PDF]

International Dental Journal
: Objective: While diabetes is known to impair dentin regenerative capacity, the specific role of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is poorly defined. This study aimed to elucidate how eNOS regulates the osteo/odontogenic differentiation of human

Nitric Oxide synthases and atrial fibrillation [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation. There are multiple systems in the myocardium which contribute to redox homeostasis, and loss of homeostasis can result in oxidative stress.

L-citrulline increases arginase II protein levels and arginase activity in hypoxic piglet pulmonary artery endothelial cells

Pulmonary Circulation, 2021
The L-arginine precursor, L-citrulline, re-couples endothelial nitric oxide synthase, increases nitric oxide production, and ameliorates chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension in newborn pigs.

Nitric oxide in gingival crevicular fluid and nitric oxide synthase expression in the gingiva of patients with sickle cell disease

Turkish Journal of Hematology, 2011
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to biochemically measure the production of nitric oxide in gingival crevicular fluid and immunohistochemically measure the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase in the gingiva of patients with sickle cell disease ...

Zinc-fortification restores gut nitric oxide without expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase gene in enterotoxigenic E. coli-induced diarrhea in zinc-deficient rats

Scientific African, 2021
Nitric oxide maintains the integrity of the gastric epithelium and is also elevated in diarrheal disease condition. Nitric oxide synthase isoforms (NOS) are responsible for production of nitric oxide (NO) in physiological and pathophysiological ...

Nitric oxide-dependent activation of CaMKII increases diastolic sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium release in cardiac myocytes in response to adrenergic stimulation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Spontaneous calcium waves in cardiac myocytes are caused by diastolic sarcoplasmic reticulum release (SR Ca(2+) leak) through ryanodine receptors.

Tetrahydrobiopterin in nitric oxide synthase [PDF]

IUBMB Life, 2013
AbstractSummary: Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) is a critical enzyme for the production of the messenger molecule nitric oxide (NO) from L‐arginine. NOS enzymes require tetrahydrobiopterin as a cofactor for NO synthesis. Besides being one of the few enzymes to use this cofactor, the role of tetrahydrobiopterin in NOS catalytic mechanism is different from ...

Nitric oxide and nitric oxide synthase in Huntington's disease [PDF]

Journal of Neuroscience Research, 2001
AbstractNitric oxide (NO) is a biologically active inorganic molecule produced when the semiessential amino acid l‐arginine is converted to l‐citrulline and NO via the enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS). NO is known to be involved in the regulation of many physiological processes, such as control of blood flow, platelet adhesion, endocrine function ...

Negative association of endothelial nitric oxide gene polymorphism with hypertension in Turkish patients: effect of ecNOS polymorphism on left ventricular hypertrophy

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2006
Background Endothelial nitric oxide synthase produces nitric oxide which is involved in many physiologic regulatory functions. Variable number of tandem repeats in intron 4 of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene are reported to be associated with ...
