Role of Asymmetric Dimethylarginine in Psychiatric Disorders [PDF]
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
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 ...

Nitric oxide synthase and neuronal NADPH diaphorase are identical in brain and peripheral tissues.
NADPH diaphorase staining neurons, uniquely resistant to toxic insults and neurodegenerative disorders, have been colocalized with neurons in the brain and peripheral tissue containing nitric oxide synthase (EC 1.14.23.-), which generates nitric oxide ...

Mammalian nitric oxide synthases
The nitric oxide (NO) synthase family of enzymes generate NO from L-arginine, which acts as a biologic effector molecule in a broad number of settings. This report summarizes some of the current information regarding NO synthase structure-function, reaction mechanism, control of catalysis, and protein interactions.

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