## Abstract We investigated whether __N__βacetylcysteine (NAC), a precursor of glutathione, could protect rabbit articular chondrocytes against nitric oxide (NO)βinduced apoptosis and could prevent cartilage destruction in an experimental model of osteoarthritis (OA) in rats. Isolated chondrocytes
Hyperglycemia is a major cause of diabetic vascular disease. High glucose can induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) generation, which can subsequently induce endothelial dysfunction. High glucose is also capable of triggering endothelial cell apoptosis. Little is known about the
Although nitric oxide (NO) has been postulated to play important roles in host defense mechanisms against tumor cells, a direct evidence supporting this hypothesis is lacking. To obtain molecular insights into the antitumor action of NO, its metabolism and effect on ascites hepatoma (AH-130) cells w
Nitric oxide (NO) synthesized by endothelial cell nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) elicits vasodilation of resistance-sized coronary microvessels. Since coronary blood flow increases during hypoxia, we tested the hypotheses that: (1) hypoxia results in increased blood flow through increased NO productio
