Bioenergetics and Reactive Nitrogen Species in Bacteria. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2022 The production of reactive nitrogen species (RNS) by the innate immune system is part of the host’s defense against invading pathogenic bacteria. In this review, we summarize recent studies on the molecular basis of the effects of nitric oxide and peroxynitrite on microbial respiration and energy conservation.

Reactive nitrogen species in cellular signaling. [PDF]
Exp Biol Med (Maywood), 2015 The transduction of cellular signals occurs through the modification of target molecules. Most of these modifications are transitory, thus the signal transduction pathways can be tightly regulated. Reactive nitrogen species are a group of compounds with different properties and reactivity.

Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen Species in Plants
AntioxidantsReactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS) include two families of molecules that, in recent years, have been shown to be involved in a wide range of biological functions, such as seed and pollen germination, the development and regulation of ...

Role of reactive nitrogen species in male infertility [PDF]
Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2012 Reactive nitrogen species (RNS) is a subset of free oxygen radicals called reactive oxygen species (ROS). Physiological levels of ROS are necessary to maintain the reproductive functions such as cell signaling, tight junction regulation, production of ...

Switching Reactive Oxygen Species into Reactive Nitrogen Species by Photocleaved O2‐Released Nanoplatforms Favors Hypoxic Tumor Repression [PDF]
Advanced Science, 2021 In various reactive oxygen species (ROS)‐based antitumor approaches (e.g., photodynamic therapy), increasing attentions are made to improve ROS level, but the short lifetime that is another decisive hurdle of ROS‐based antitumor outcomes is not even ...

Modification of DNA structure by reactive nitrogen species as a result of 2-methoxyestradiol–induced neuronal nitric oxide synthase uncoupling in metastatic osteosarcoma cells [PDF]
Redox Biology, 2020 2-methoxyestradiol (2-ME) is a physiological anticancer compound, metabolite of 17β-estradiol. Previously, our group evidenced that from mechanistic point of view one of anticancer mechanisms of action of 2-ME is specific induction and nuclear hijacking ...

Demyelination: The Role of Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen Species [PDF]
Brain Pathology, 1999 This review summarises the role that reactive oxygen and nitrogen species play in demyelination, such as that occurring in the inflammatory demyelinating disorders multiple sclerosis and Guillain‐Barré syndrome. The concentrations of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (e.g.

Effects of aluminum on metabolism of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species in root tips of different Eucalyptus species [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyOn acidified soil, the growth of Eucalyptus is seriously restricted by aluminum (Al) stress. Therefore, breeding Eucalyptus species with excellent Al tolerance, developing the genetic potential of species, and improving tolerance to Al stress are ...

Reactive nitrogen species in host-bacterial interactions. [PDF]
Curr Opin Immunol, 2019 Reactive nitrogen species play diverse and essential roles in host-pathogen interactions. Here, we review selected recent discoveries regarding nitric oxide (NO) in host defense and the pathogenesis of infection, mechanisms of bacterial NO resistance, production of NO by human macrophages, NO-based antimicrobial therapeutics and NO interactions with ...

Physiological and pathophysiological role of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species in the kidney. [PDF]
Clin Exp Pharmacol Physiol, 2018 SummaryEnd‐stage renal disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The prevalence of the disease and the number of patients who receive renal replacement therapy are expected to increase in the next decade. Accumulating evidence suggests that chronic hypoxia in the tubulointerstitium represents the final common pathway to end‐stage
