Biochemical Characterization of the Copper Nitrite Reductase from Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Biomolecules, 2023 The copper-containing nitrite reductase from Neisseria gonorrhoeae has been shown to play a critical role in the infection mechanism of this microorganism by producing NO and abolishing epithelial exfoliation. This enzyme is a trimer with a type 1 copper

Rhizobium-Initiated Rice Growth Inhibition Caused by Nitric Oxide Accumulation
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2007 Isolates of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii (the clover root-nodule endosymbiont) from the Nile River delta have been found to infect rice roots and colonize the intercellular spaces of the rice roots.

Ameliorating Effect of Chloride on Nitrite Toxicity to Freshwater Invertebrates with Different Physiology: a Comparative Study Between Amphipods and Planarians [PDF]
, 2008 High nitrite concentrations in freshwater ecosystems may cause toxicity to aquatic animals. These living organisms can take nitrite up from water through their chloride cells, subsequently suffering oxidation of their respiratory pigments (hemoglobin ...

Intravenous sodium nitrite in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction: a randomized controlled trial (NIAMI) [PDF]
, 2014 AimDespite prompt revascularization of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), substantial myocardial injury may occur, in part a consequence of ischaemia reperfusion injury (IRI). There has been considerable interest in therapies that may reduce IRI.

Therapeutic uses of inorganic nitrite and nitrate - from the past to the future
, 2008 Potential carcinogenic effects, blue baby syndrome, and occasional intoxications caused by nitrite, as well as the suspected health risks related to fertilizer overuse, contributed to the negative image that inorganic nitrite and nitrate have had for ...

Ascorbate mediates the non-enzymatic reduction of nitrite to nitric oxide
Advances in Redox Research, 2023 Nitric oxide (NO•) generated by nitric oxide synthases is involved in many physiological and pathophysiological processes. However, non-enzymatic formation of NO• also occurs in vivo.
