Nitric oxide in airway inflammation
… airway inflammation associated with nitric oxide (NO) and the metabolites nitrite/nitrates (NOx) in diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but some of the variables affecting the results are unknown. It was hypothesised that 1) EBC would be influenced by lung …

Nitric Oxide Bioavailability Regulation by Hemoglobin
Nitric Oxide (NO) is a diatomic molecule with one unpaired electron which makes it highly reactive. Because of its small size it can diffuse rapidly through body tissues. These characteristics allow NO to function very well as local signal transductor. NO plays an important role in the dilation of …

Nitric oxide reactivity of manganese, iron and cobalt tropocoronands and development of fluorescent aminotroponiminates for nitric oxide sensing
… and Biological Implications of Transition Metal-Nitric Oxide Interactions. This introductory chapter reviews various aspects of NO reactivity by transition metals and in biological systems. Chapter 2. Disproportionation of Nitric Oxide Promoted by a Mn Tropocoronand The first example of a …

Modulation of Hypoglossal Motoneurons by Nitric Oxide
… source of sleep-activated compensatory drive is nitric oxide released from cholinergic terminals in the HMN (Pose et al. 2005; Vincent & Kimura, 1992). Here we show that NO functions as an excitatory transmitter in the HMN by a cGMP-dependent inhibition of a background TASK-like conductance and …

Exhaled nitric oxide in asthmatic airway inflammation
Measuring the level of exhaled NO (eNO) in the breath is a new method to monitor airway inflammation in asthma and may have a role in the management of asthma. The hypotheses were that eNO will reflect the degree of inflammation in chronic asthma, and will indicate how anti- inflammatory therapy …

Some investigations of the nitric oxide afterglow
The nitric oxide afterglow of a low pressure pulsed R.F. glow discharge in nitrogen with small admixtures of oxygen has been investigated.

Nitric oxide in the rat gastrointestinal tract
This study concerns the nature of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the rat gastrointestinal tract. The major objectives were (i) to characterise NOS isoforms in the gastric glandular mucosa, (ii) to localise NOS isoforms in the rat gastric glandular mucosa, (iii) to …

Nitric oxide and peroxynitrite-induced cellular damage
Since its initial discovery in vivo, nitric oxide (NO') has become one of the most highly studied and important biological molecules. Nitric oxide is a key participant in many physiological pathways in the body; however its reactivity gives it the potential to cause considerable damage to cells and …

Regulation of skeletal muscle glucose uptake during contraction/ exercise by nitric oxide (NO)/ neuronal nitric oxide synthase MU (NOSμ)
… In humans, there is convincing evidence that nitric oxide (NO) plays a role in contraction-stimulated muscle glucose uptake and may be promising from a therapeutic standpoint for people with T2D since they have a greater reliance on NO-mediated glucose uptake during exercise. However, evidence …

Nitric oxide influences muscle physiology and meat quality
The physiological role of nitric oxide (NO) has emerged as a regulator of many cellular processes. Importantly, the formative enzyme NO synthase (NOS) was found to have high levels of activity in skeletal muscle and the activity of the neuronal isoform of NOS was higher in muscle than in the brain. …

The role of nitric oxide in pre-eclampsia
… that an inorganic free radical molecule, nitric oxide (NO), was released from the endothelium cell lining of the vasculature and was involved in regulating vasodilation of the vasculature walls via smooth muscle.It was also shown to have cytotoxic effects on bacteria, to inhibit platelet …

Nitric Oxide Releasing Polymers For Vascular Graft Applications
<p>Nitric oxide [NO] is an endogenous gas involved in a multitude of physiological functions, ranging from vasodilatation, inflammatory response to inhibition of platelet aggregation. Significant interest exists for therapeutic application of exogenous NO, particularly for the improvement of …

Regulation of blood platelet function by nitric oxide
… could occlude the vessel. Endothelial-derived nitric oxide (NO) and prostacyclin (PGI₂) are strong negative regulators that modulate platelet adhesion, activation, aggregation, secretion and shape change. In this study the effects of NO on Ca²+ dependent and independent pathways of activation …

Characterization of Nitric Oxide Production in Single Neurons
The application of a gamut of CE-LIF assays will greatly enhance future inquires into the nitrergic nature of individual neurons. By relating this NO production to behavioral roles and their underlying neuronal networks, we hope to discover the specific mechanisms by which NO exerts its influence …
