A novel long non-coding natural antisense RNA is a negative regulator of Nos1 gene expression [PDF]
Long non-coding natural antisense transcripts (NATs) are widespread in eukaryotic species. Although recent studies indicate that long NATs are engaged in the regulation of gene expression, the precise functional roles of the vast majority of them are ...

Background Dyslipidaemia is a major risk factor for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. The molecular mechanisms that translate dyslipidaemia into atherogenesis and reliable markers of its progression are yet to be fully elucidated.

Pharmacology and clinical drug candidates in redox medicine [PDF]
SIGNIFICANCE Oxidative stress is suggested to be a disease mechanism common to a wide range of disorders affecting human health. However, so far, the pharmacotherapeutic exploitation of this, for example, based on chemical scavenging of pro-oxidant ...

Chimeras of Nitric-oxide Synthase Types I and III Establish Fundamental Correlates between Heme Reduction, Heme-NO Complex Formation, and Catalytic Activity [PDF]
Neuronal nitric-oxide synthase (nNOS or NOS I) and endothelial NOS (eNOS or NOS III) differ widely in their reductase and nitric oxide (NO) synthesis activities, electron transfer rates, and propensities to form a heme-NO complex during catalysis.

Localization of nitric oxide synthase type III in the internal thoracic and radial arteries and the great saphenous vein: A comparative immunohistochemical study [PDF]
Endothelial nitric oxide synthase type III is the key enzyme of the nitric oxide production in the vessel wall. In this study the localization of endothelial nitric oxide synthase type III within the wall of the human internal thoracic and radial arteries and the great saphenous vein was investigated.Specimens were harvested from 23 patients undergoing

Compensatory Feto-Placental Upregulation of the Nitric Oxide System during Fetal Growth Restriction [PDF]
Background: Fetal Growth Restriction is often associated with a feto-placental vascular dysfunction conceivably involving endothelial cells. Our study aimed to verify this pathogenic role for feto-placental endothelial cells and, coincidentally ...
