Adenosine preconditioning attenuates hepatic reperfusion injury in the rat by preventing the down-regulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase

BMC Gastroenterology, 2002
Background Previous work has suggested that in the liver, adenosine preconditioning is mediated by nitric oxide. Whether the endothelial isoform of nitric oxide synthase plays a part in this mechanism has however not yet been investigated. Methods Wistar

The Expression of Type-1 and Type-2 Nitric Oxide Synthase in Selected Tissues of the Gastrointestinal Tract during Mixed Mycotoxicosis

Toxins, 2013
The aim of the study was to verify the hypothesis that intoxication with low doses of mycotoxins leads to changes in the mRNA expression levels of nitric oxide synthase-1 and nitric oxide synthase-2 genes in tissues of the gastrointestinal tract and the ...

Study of the nitric oxide system in the rat cerebellum during aging

BMC Neuroscience, 2010
Background The cerebellum is the neural structure with the highest levels of nitric oxide, a neurotransmitter that has been proposed to play a key role in the brain aging, although knowledge concerning its contribution to cerebellar senescence is still ...

Role of Asymmetric Dimethylarginine in Psychiatric Disorders [PDF]

Psikiyatride Güncel Yaklaşımlar, 2014
Asymmetric dimethylarginine has been a post-translational modified form of the aminoasid arginine. Being a competitive inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase enzyme, makes asymmetric dimethylarginine important.

Role of Dietary Polyphenols in the Activity and Expression of Nitric Oxide Synthases: A Review

Antioxidants, 2023
Nitric oxide (NO) plays several key roles in the functionality of an organism, and it is usually released in numerous organs and tissues. There are mainly three isoforms of the enzyme that produce NO starting from the metabolism of arginine, namely ...

Elevated exhaled nitric oxide in allergen-provoked asthma is associated with airway epithelial iNOS.

PLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundFractional exhaled nitric oxide is elevated in allergen-provoked asthma. The cellular and molecular source of the elevated fractional exhaled nitric oxide is, however, uncertain.ObjectiveTo investigate whether fractional exhaled nitric oxide is

Tetrahydrobiopterin Protects Against Hypertrophic Heart Disease Independent of Myocardial Nitric Oxide Synthase Coupling

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundNitric oxide synthase uncoupling occurs under conditions of oxidative stress modifying the enzyme's function so it generates superoxide rather than nitric oxide.

Prognostic value of pro-inflammatory markers at the preoperative stage in Algerian women with breast cancer

Forum of Clinical Oncology
Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) are widely used to assess patient’s outcome in many ...
