Nitroarginine Inhibits Endothelium-Derived Relaxation
Effects of NG-nitro-L-arginine (NO2Arg), a guanidinonitro arginine derivative, on acetylcholine-induced relaxation of rabbit thoracic aorta ring preparation were studied. Relaxation by acetylcholine was inhibited by NO2Arg dose-dependently and the maximum relaxation with 10(2) microM NO2Arg was reduced to 10.1 +/- 4.3% (n = 5). L-arginine (10(2) microM)

Ginkgo biloba leaf extract (EGb 761) enhances catalepsy induced by haloperidol and L-nitroarginine in mice [PDF]
Ginkgo biloba extract EGb 761 has been reported to have therapeutic effects which have been attributed to anti-oxidant and free radical-scavenging activities, including a direct action on nitric oxide production.

N-Acetylcysteine and N-Nitroarginine Methyl Ester Attenuate Carboplatin-Induced Ototoxicity in Dissociated Spiral Ganglion Neuron Cultures [PDF]
ObjectivesCarboplatin, a platinum-containing anti-cancer drug used to treat a variety of cancers, induces ototoxicity. Since, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) seem to be responsible for this toxicity, the antioxidant, N-acetyl-L ...

Single Crystals of α–LiIO3 Doped with L–arginine and L–nitroarginine [PDF]
One of the essential crystals for technology is the hexagonal modification of lithium iodate (α–LiIO3), which is endowed with nonlinear optical, pyroelectric, piezoelectric, acousto–optic properties. In recent years, a number of research groups studied physical and physiochemical properties of several single crystals (KDP, ADP, BTCA, ZTC) that were ...

Effects of nitric oxide synthase inhibitors,
The effects of l‐NG‐nitroarginine (l‐NOARG) and l‐NG‐nitroarginine methyl ester (l‐NAME) on vasodilatation induced by ATP, substance P, 5‐hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT), bradykinin and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) were examined in the guinea‐pig coronary bed, by use of a Langendorff technique.

Quinapril Prevents Hypertension and Enhanced Vascular Reactivity in Nitroarginine-treated Rats [PDF]
Long-term inhibition of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) by substituted arginine analogues has previously been shown to induce systemic hypertension in several animal species; however, the precise mechanisms for the elevated blood pressure remain unclear.

Study of L-nitroarginine perchlorate and L-nitroarginine tetrafluoroborate crystals
Abstract In the present work, we report the results of vibrational spectroscopic (Fourier transform IR and Raman), UV-Vis transmission, thermal properties, and nonlinear optical activity of L-nitroarginine perchlorate (L-NNA·HClO4) and L-nitroarginine tetrafluoroborate (L-NNA·HBF4) crystals. The NLO activity of crystals was measured. All

Role of potassium channels in endothelium‐dependent relaxation resistant to nitroarginine in the rat hepatic artery [PDF]
1. In the presence of indomethacin (IM, 10 microM) and N omega-nitro-L- arginine (L-NOARG, 0.3 mM), acetylcholine (ACh) induces an endothelium-dependent smooth muscle hyperpolarization and relaxation in the rat isolated hepatic artery. The potassium (K) channel inhibitors, tetrabutylammonium (TBA, 1 mM) and to a lesser extent 4-aminopyridine (4-AP, 1 ...
