Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase
2011Diabetic nephropathy remains a leading cause for end-stage renal disease indicating a failure of current therapeutic strategies. One factor that impairs our ability to make advances has been the inadequacy of most animal models in manifesting advanced diabetic renal disease.

Mitochondrial nitric oxide synthase
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 2005Mitochondria produce nitric oxide (NO) through a Ca(2+)-sensitive mitochondrial NO synthase (mtNOS). The NO produced by mtNOS regulates mitochondrial oxygen consumption and transmembrane potential via a reversible reaction with cytochrome c oxidase.

Mitochondrial nitric oxide synthase
Mitochondrion, 2004Nitric oxide (NO*) can bind to and inhibit the terminal enzyme of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, cytochrome c oxidase (complex IV). In vivo, NO* is made by the NO* synthase (NOS) family of enzymes, and considerable debate has recently arisen regarding a NOS inside mitochondria (termed 'mtNOS').

Nitric oxide synthase in invertebrates
The Histochemical Journal, 1995The gas nitric oxide is now recognized as an important signalling molecule that is synthesized from L-arginine by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase. This enzyme can be localized by different methods, including immunocytochemistry and the histochemical reaction for NADPH diaphorase.

Regulation of nitric oxide synthase by nitric oxide.
Molecular Pharmacology, 1993Nitric oxide (NO) is a recently discovered messenger for the activation of soluble guanylate cyclase in a wide variety of cell types. Although enzymes involved in NO synthesis have been discovered, the regulation of their action is not clear. The possibility of NO regulating the activity of a crude NO synthase (EC 1.14.23) preparation from bovine ...

Chemical Research in Toxicology, 1998
Inhibitory action of a variety of quinoid compounds on neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) activity was examined with a 20000g rat cerebellar supernatant preparation and purified nNOS. The inhibition of citrulline formation from l-arginine by quinones, which exhibit one-electron reduction potentials (E17) ranging between -240 and -100 mV, increased ...

Nitric oxide, nitric oxide synthase, and hypertensive vascular disease
Current Hypertension Reports, 1999In normotension the endothelium produces mainly nitric oxide (NO) and prostacyclin, and the vasodilator and growth inhibitory influence predominates. Hypertension, however, is associated with a shift towards enhanced constriction and vascular hypertrophy.

Inducible nitric oxide synthase and nitric oxide production by oligodendrocytes
Journal of Neuroscience Research, 1997It has been previously demonstrated that microglia and astrocytes produce micromolar amounts of nitric oxide in vitro. In this study, we demonstrate that primary rat oligodendrocytes can be stimulated to produce iNOS mRNA as detected by Northern blot and in situ hybridization analysis and a 131-kDa iNOS protein by Western blot analysis; protein was ...

Current Protocols in Pharmacology, 1998
AbstractNitric oxide (NO) is a widespread messenger molecule that regulates cardiovascular tone, immune responses, and neuronal function. This unit provides a simple protocol for measuring NO production based on the stoichiometric formation of the byproduct L‐citrulline by nitric oxide synthase (NOS) when NO is produced.
