Nitric oxide is generated from L-arginine by nitric oxide synthase (NOS), which has at least three isoforms; endothelial-type NOS (eNOS) and brain-type NOS (bNOS) are constitutive enzymes, and inducible-type NOS (iNOS) is expressed after stimulation.

## Abstract Bone resorption is responsible for the morbidity associated with a number of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, orthopedic implant osteolysis, periodontitis and aural cholesteatoma. Previous studies have established nitric oxide (NO) as a potentially important mediator
Because several stimuli of microbial origin enhance the activity of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in human cells of the myeloid lineage, we decided to investigate whether cellular damage induced by Aspergillus terreus mycotoxins could be associated with an increase in NOS activity. A pool of mycotoxin
