Increased renal expression of nitric oxide synthase type III in cirrhotic rats with ascites [PDF]

Hepatology, 1998
This article assesses the circulating levels of l-arginine, the renal response to l-arginine infusion, and the renal expression of inducible and constitutive nitric oxide synthase (NOS II and NOS III, respectively) in cirrhotic rats with ascites.

Adventitial Collagen Cross-Linking by Glutaraldehyde Reinforcing Human Saphenous Vein - Implication for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2022
Introduction: A weak venous wall is one of the major reasons contributing to vein graft failure after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We investigated whether adventitial collagen cross-linking by glutaraldehyde reinforces venous wall, preserving ...

Nitric Oxide-dependent Parasympathetic Signaling Is Due to Activation of Constitutive Endothelial (Type III) Nitric Oxide Synthase in Cardiac Myocytes [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1995
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 ...

Effects of Ovine Monocyte-Derived Macrophage Infection by Recently Isolated Toxoplasma gondii Strains Showing Different Phenotypic Traits

Animals, 2022
Ovine toxoplasmosis is one the most relevant reproductive diseases in sheep. The genetic variability among different Toxoplasma gondii isolates is known to be related to different degrees of virulence in mice and humans, but little is known regarding its

Effect of miR-134 against myocardial hypoxia/reoxygenation injury by directly targeting NOS3 and regulating PI3K/Akt pathway [PDF]

Acta Cirúrgica Brasileira, 2019
Purpose To reveal the function of miR-134 in myocardial ischemia. Methods Real-time PCR and western blotting were performed to measure the expression of miR-134, nitric oxide synthase 3 (NOS3) and apoptotic-associated proteins. Lactic dehydrogenase (LDH)

Activation of Type III Nitric Oxide Synthase in Astrocytes Following a Neurotropic Viral Infection

Virology, 1996
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.

Abnormal modulation of cell protective systems in response to ischemic/reperfusion injury is important in the development of mouse sickle cell hepatopathy

Haematologica, 2011
Background Sickle cell disease, a genetic red cell disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, occurs throughout the world. Hepatic dysfunction and liver damage may be present in sickle cell disease, but the pathogenesis of these conditions is ...

L-NA-Sensitive rCBF Augmentation during Vibrissal Stimulation in Type III Nitric Oxide Synthase Mutant Mice [PDF]

Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism, 1996
Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was studied in type III nitric oxide (NO) synthase (endothelial, eNOS) mutant and wild type mice during mechanical whisker stimulation before and after nitro-L-arginine (L-NA) superfusion using the closed cranial window technique. rCBF increased equally in cortical barrel fields in both strains during stimulation, as

Resveratrol Prevented Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Endothelial Dysfunction in Rat Thoracic Aorta Through Increased eNOS Expression

Balkan Medical Journal, 2016
Background: The cardiovascular benefits of Resveratrol (RVT) have been well established by previous experimental and clinical studies. Aims: The goal of this study was to test the effectiveness of RVT administration on the impaired endothelial ...
