Nitric oxide synthases in mammals [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1994 Nitric oxide is an inorganic free radical gas, of formula *N=O (abbreviated as NO). The discovery in 1987/88 that vascular endothelial cells are able to synthesize NO from L-arginine as a transcellular signal [1-4] was initially received by most biologists with considerable scepticism.

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 ...

The effect of chronic peripheral nesfatin-1 application on blood pressure in normal and chronic restraint stressed rats: Related with circulating level of blood pressure regulators [PDF]
, 2015 Nesfatin is a peptide secreted by peripheral tissues, central and peripheral nervous system. It is involved in the regulation of homeostasis. Although the effects of nesfatin-1 on nutrition have been studied widely in the literature, the mechanisms of ...

Nitric Oxide Synthase Inhibitors as Antidepressants [PDF]
Pharmaceuticals, 2010 Affective and anxiety disorders are widely distributed disorders with severe social and economic effects. Evidence is emphatic that effective treatment helps to restore function and quality of life. Due to the action of most modern antidepressant drugs, serotonergic mechanisms have traditionally been suggested to play major roles in the pathophysiology

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 ...

Endothelial nitric oxide synthase activity involves in the protective effect of ascorbic acid against penicillin-induced epileptiform activity [PDF]
, 2010 Ascorbic acid and nitric oxide are known to play important roles in epilepsy. The aim of present study was to identify the involvement of nitric oxide (NO) in the anticonvulsant effects of ascorbic acid on penicillin-induced epileptiform activity in rats.

Shear-Induced Nitric Oxide Production by Endothelial Cells [PDF]
, 2016 We present a biochemical model of the wall shear stress (WSS)-induced activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in an endothelial cell (EC). The model includes three key mechanotransducers: mechanosensing ion channels, integrins and G-protein-coupled receptors. The reaction cascade consists of two interconnected parts.

Remarkably strong chemisorption of nitric oxide on insulating oxide films promoted by hybrid structure [PDF]
, 2017 The remarkably strong chemical adsorption behaviors of nitric oxide on magnesia (001) film deposited on metal substrate have been investigated by employing periodic density functional calculations with Van der Waals corrections. The molybdenum supported magnesia (001) show significantly enhanced adsorption properties and the nitric oxide is chemisorbed

Exploring the Use of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase to Enhance Compost Nitrogen Content [PDF]
, 2022 The goal of our research is to find and present new ways to introduce an inducible nitric oxide synthase to plants to better control nitrogen levels. We also looked at ways to introduce the synthase through compost.
