Nitric Oxide-dependent Parasympathetic Signaling Is Due to Activation of Constitutive Endothelial (Type III) Nitric Oxide Synthase in Cardiac Myocytes [PDF]
Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoforms are discovered in an increasing variety of cell types with different roles in signaling. The inducible NOS (i.e. iNOS or NOS II) is expressed in cardiac myocytes in response to specific cytokines. Independent of iNOS induction, however, receptor-dependent signaling is modulated by a constitutive nitric oxide (NO ...

Activation of Type III Nitric Oxide Synthase in Astrocytes Following a Neurotropic Viral Infection
Type III nitric oxide synthase (type III NOS), also known as endothelial cell nitric oxide synthase (eNOS or ecNOS or NOS-3), is a constitutively expressed, calcium- and calmodulin-dependent, isoform of NOS. Its expression has been localized to endothelial cells and a subset of neurons in the brain.

[3 H]L-NG-Nitroarginine Binding after Transient Focal Ischemia and NMDA-Induced Excitotoxicity in Type I and Type III Nitric Oxide Synthase Null Mice [PDF]
We investigated the density and distribution of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) binding by quantitative autoradiography using [3H]L-NG-nitroarginine ([3H]L-NNA) after transient focal ischemia or intrastriatal injection of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) in wild-type (SV-129 and C57black/6) and type I (neuronal) and type III (endothelial) NOS-deficient mice ...

Aerobic exercise-induced irisin secretion is associated with improved endothelial function and reduced atherosclerosis in ApoE-deficient mice [PDF]
Exercise training improves endothelial function and reduces vascular inflammation. However, whether aerobic exercise training-induced secretion of irisin, a myokine cleaved from fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5), is associated with

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.

Transcriptional Induction of Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Type III by Lysophosphatidylcholine [PDF]
Endothelial synthesis of NO is catalyzed by constitutive NO synthase type III (NOS-III). NOS-III has been thought to be regulated mainly at the level of enzyme activity by intracellular calcium. We report that in human umbilical vein endothelial cells lysophosphatidylcholine (lyso-PC), a component of atherogenic lipoproteins and atherosclerotic lesions,
