Mechanisms and consequences of endothelial nitric oxide synthase dysfunction in hypertension.

Journal of Hypertension, 2015
Reduced nitric oxide bioavailability contributes to endothelial dysfunction and hypertension. The endothelial isoform of nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is responsible for the production of nitric oxide within the endothelium.

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 ...

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.

Endothelial nitric oxide synthase-derived nitric oxide in the regulation of metabolism [version 1; peer review: 3 approved]

F1000Research, 2020
Nitric oxide is an endogenously formed gas that acts as a signaling molecule in the human body. The signaling functions of nitric oxide are accomplished through two primer mechanisms: cGMP-mediated phosphorylation and the formation of S-nitrosocysteine ...

Inducible nitric oxide synthase links NF-κB to PGE₂ in polyunsaturated fatty acid altered fibroblast in-vitro wound healing

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2005
Background This study investigated mechanisms of altered fibroblast collagen production induced by polyunsaturated fatty acids. 3T3-Swiss fibroblasts were grown in medium containing either eicosapentaenoic or arachidonic acid.

Is there a relationship between endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphisms and ankylosing spondylitis?

Clinics
OBJECTIVE: Nitric oxide is produced by endothelial nitric oxide synthase, and its production can be influenced by polymorphisms of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene.

Pro- and anti-fibrotic effects of vascular endothelial growth factor in chronic kidney diseases

Renal Failure, 2022
Renal fibrosis is the inevitable common end-point of all progressive chronic kidney diseases. The underlying mechanisms of renal fibrosis are complex, and currently there is no effective therapy against renal fibrosis.

Oxidation of tetrahydrobiopterin leads to uncoupling of endothelial cell nitric oxide synthase in hypertension.

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2003
Tetrahydrobiopterin is a critical cofactor for the NO synthases, and in its absence these enzymes become "uncoupled," producing reactive oxygen species (ROSs) rather than NO.

The protective effects of tadalafil on renal damage following ischemia reperfusion injury in rats

Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2015
Ischemia-reperfusion injury can cause renal damage, and phosphodiesterase inhibitors are reported to regulate antioxidant activity. We investigated the prevention of renal damage using tadalafil after renal ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats.
