Increased intrahepatic resistance in cirrhotic livers is in part caused by increased vascular tone. Several morphological abnormalities have been described in the sinusoidal endothelial cells of cirrhotic livers, but the functional impact of these abnormalities on the intrahepatic vascular tone has

## Abstract Because the neurotoxic effects of the antifungal drug amphotericin B (AMB) closely resemble those ascribed to the highly reactive gaseous free radical nitric oxide (NO), we investigated the effect of AMB on NO production in rodent astrocytes. AMB caused a dose‐dependent increase of NO g

Nitric oxide (NO) is a pleiotropic mediator of a variety of cellular processes such as vasorelaxation, neurotransmission, and cytotoxicity. We studied the expression of the human endothelial, CaZ+/calmodulin-dependent NO synthase (NOS) isoform (ecNOS) in highly purified human lymphocytes from periph

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Nitric oxide (NO) is present in various human solid tumors and tumor cell lines, and it is believed that NO plays an important role in tumor growth. An increased NO concentration catalyzed by NO synthase (NOS) is cytotoxic and can promote apoptosis. The expression of endo
