Alveolar type II cells (type II cells) play a crucial role in the progression and repair of lung inflammation and injury. We investigated whether inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was expressed and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) was activated in type II cells in lung injury.

Inhibition of nitric oxide production of activated mice peritoneal macrophages is independent of the Toxoplasma gondii strain [PDF]
BACKGROUND Toxoplasma gondii causes toxoplasmosis and is controlled by activated macrophages. However, infection of macrophages by tachyzoites induces TGF-β signaling (TGF-s) inhibiting nitric oxide (NO) production.

LIT01-196, a Metabolically Stable Apelin-17 Analog, Normalizes Blood Pressure in Hypertensive DOCA-Salt Rats via a NO Synthase-dependent Mechanism [PDF]
Apelin is a neuro-vasoactive peptide that plays a major role in the control of cardiovascular functions and water balance, but has an in-vivo half-life in the minute range, limiting its therapeutic use. We previously developed LIT01-196, a systemically active metabolically stable apelin-17 analog, produced by chemical addition of a fluorocarbon chain ...

Vasoconstrictor and Pressor Effects of Des-Aspartate-Angiotensin I in Rat
This study investigated the vasoactive effects of des-aspartate-angiotensin-I (DAA-I) in male Wistar rats on whole body vascular bed, isolated perfused kidneys, and aortic rings.

Covalent Functionalization of HiPco Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes: Differences in the Oxidizing Action of H2SO4 and HNO3 during a Soft Oxidation Process [PDF]
The results of a study on the evolution of HiPco single-walled carbon nanotubes during the oxidizing action of H2SO4 and HNO3 are presented. The process conditions used have been chosen so as to avoid any significant damage to the nanotube structure. The type and level of functionalization, the location of the grafted functions on the surface of the ...

The kinetics and regulation of the induction of type II nitric oxide synthase and nitric oxide in human fetal glial cell cultures [PDF]
Our understanding of how human glial cells are induced to produce nitric oxide and how the production is regulated may allow us to better design therapeutic strategies for treating inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system in man. Cultures of human fetal astrocytes and microglia produce inducible nitric oxide synthase and nitric oxide in ...
