Two important mediators of endothelium-dependent regulation of vascular smooth muscle tone and proliferation are nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin (ET-1). An imbalance between NO and ET-1 may contribute to the alterations in vascular tone characteristic of cardiovascular disease. The objective of thi

The inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) promoter contains nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) binding sites. NF-kappaB activation is determined, in part, by the intracellular redox status. The aim of this study was to determine the importance of the cellular glutathione status in relation to NF-kap
Roles proposed for nitric oxide (NO) in CNS pathophysiology are increasingly diverse and range from intercellular signaling, through necrotic killing of cells and invading pathogens, to the involvement of NO in apoptosis and tissue remodeling. In vitro evidence and observations from experimental ani
## Abstract The role of endogenous regucalcin, which is a regulatory protein in calcium signaling, in the regulation of nitric oxide (NO) synthase activity in the cloned rat hepatoma H4βIIβE cells was investigated. Hepatoma cells were cultured for 24β72 h in the presence of fetal bovine serum (FBS;
In mixed glial cell cultures from cerebral cortices of newborn rats, endotoxin induces nitric oxide (NO) production in microglial cells. Earlier we demonstrated that endotoxin induced NO production by microglial cells is inhibited in the presence of astroglial cells by transforming growth factor β€ (
The distribution of nitric oxide synthase on peripheral motor system was studied using a specific antibody against the neuronal isoform of nitric oxide synthase (nNOS). The immunoreactivity for nNOS was detected on the sarcolemmal surface of muscle cells, in intramuscular axons and in neuromuscular
