## Abstract Globins are generally considered as carriers of diatomic gaseous ligands (__e.g__., O~2~ and NO) in metazoa. Recently, the (pseudo‐)enzymatic activity of globins towards reactive nitrogen and oxygen species has been elucidated. In particular, some globins (__e.g__., hemoglobin and myogl

Immunostimulated astrocytes become highly vulnerable to glucose deprivation (Choi and Kim: J Neurosci Res 54:870-875, 1998a). The increased vulnerability is caused by the enhanced level of peroxynitrite endogenously produced in glucose-deprived immunostimulated astrocytes. In the present study, we r
## Abstract Our previous investigation indicated that insulin can be nitrated by peroxynitrite __in vitro__. In this study, the preferential nitration site of the four tyrosine residues in insulin molecule was confirmed. Mononitrated and dinitrated insulins were purified by RP‐HPLC. Following reduc
