Glutamine synthetase (GS) in the liver is restricted to a small perivenous hepatocyte population and plays an important role in the scavenging of ammonia that has escaped the periportal urea-synthesizing compartment. We examined the effect of a single intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide

nder physiological conditions, nitric oxide (NO)-dependent signaling pathways function through different mechanisms involving the interaction with metal centers and the modification of proteins through amino acid residues. For example, the wellknown interaction of soluble guanylate cyclase with NO i
In mammalian liver, high glutamine synthetase (GS) expression is restricted to hepatocytes surrounding the terminal venules. The most important enhancer of the GS gene is located Ϸ2520 base pairs (bp) upstream from the transcriptional start point. The nature of the transcription factors that bind to
