We determined the functional role of nitric oxide (NO) and endothelins (ET), two potent vasoactive mediator systems in the liver, for the pathogenesis of sinusoidal perfusion failure and lethal hepatocyte injury after low-flow ischemia/reperfusion in the isolated perfused rat liver. NO synthase bloc

We investigated the mechanism of nitric oxide (NO) action on hepatic methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) activity using S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) as NO donor. Hepatic MAT plays an essential role in the metabolism of methionine, converting this amino acid into S-adenosylmethionine. Hepatic MAT exi
Acetaminophen is a mild analgesic and antipyretic agent known to cause centrilobular hepatic necrosis at toxic doses. Although this may be due to a direct interaction of reactive acetaminophen metabolites with hepatocyte proteins, recent studies have suggested that cytotoxic mediators produced by pa
## Abstract Although the inducible isoform of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is a wellβestablished source of nitric oxide (NO^β’^) during inflammation of the central nervous system (CNS), little is known about the involvement of constitutive isoforms of NOS (cNOS) in the inflammatory process. The aim
