## Background: Animal studies with systemic nitric oxide synthase (nos) inhibition and renal ablation, suggest that no deficiency is both a cause and a consequence of chronic renal disease (crd). ## Methods: This study examined a glomerulonephritis (gn) model of crd to determine if no is deficien

## Abstract The complex pathogenesis of chronic renal disease (CRD) depends on endothelin (ET) axis (ETs and ET receptors) and nitric oxide (NO) because of their vasoactive effects and their role in general modulation of vascular homeostasis. Various renal cells synthesize ETs and NO that play a si
## Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) is a biologically active inorganic molecule produced when the semiessential amino acid lโarginine is converted to lโcitrulline and NO via the enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS). NO is known to be involved in the regulation of many physiological processes, such as contr
