Nitric oxide signalling during the past two decades has been one of the most rapidly growing areas in biology. This simple free radical gas can regulate an ever-growing list of biological processes. Here the regulation of NO synthesis in the liver is reviewed. The biogenesis of nitric oxide (NO) is

## Abstract Waterβdeprivationβinduced osmotic stress leads to activation of a number of adaptive responses. Nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated in the modulation of these responses, as the amygdala has been implicated in ingestive behavior and modulation of autonomic homeostatic functions. Here w
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
Recent work indicates that nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in the systemic and renal alterations of cirrhosis. In the present study, we have evaluated whether the inducible NO synthase (iNOS) isoform participates in the enhanced renal and systemic NO production of a rat model of cirrhosis.
There is a marked contrast between the extraordinary complexity and specificity of th e a a twe immune response and the limited number of effector d p mechanisms that it can direct. Recently, a great deal of interest has focused on the possible role of nitric oxide (NO) in one of these mechanisms. H
