Physiology of nitric oxide in skeletal muscle.
In the past five years, skeletal muscle has emerged as a paradigm of "nitric oxide" (NO) function and redox-related signaling in biology. All major nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoforms, including a muscle-specific splice variant of neuronal-type (n) NOS, are expressed in skeletal muscles of all mammals. Expression and localization of NOS isoforms are dependent on age and developmental stage, in...
متن کاملIn vitro effects of anthocyanidins on sinonasal epithelial nitric oxide production and bacterial physiology
BACKGROUND T2R bitter taste receptors play a crucial role in sinonasal innate immunity by upregulating mucociliary clearance and nitric oxide (NO) production in response to bitter gram-negative quorum-sensing molecules in the airway surface liquid. Previous studies showed that phytochemical flavonoid metabolites, known as anthocyanidins, taste bitter and have antibacterial effects. Our objectiv...
متن کاملNitric oxide and the regulation of large artery stiffness: from physiology to pharmacology.
The association between arterial stiffening and aging is well described and can be observed in almost all populations worldwide. A number of other cardiovascular risk factors including diabetes and cigarette smoking are also associated with increased large artery stiffness, often referred to as “premature arterial stiffening.” It is now apparent that the aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV), a meas...
متن کاملNitric oxide and mechanisms of redox signaling.
Regulation of signal transduction and gene expression is a multifaceted process involving ligands, receptors, and second messengers that trigger cascades of protein kinases and phosphatases and propagate the signal to the nucleus to alter gene expression. Reduction-oxidation (redox)-based regulatory pathways provide additional means of gating signal transduction, and redox-based regulation of g...
متن کاملEndothelin-1 and nitric oxide synthase in short rebound reaction to short exposure to inhaled nitric oxide.
On withdrawal of inhalation of nitric oxide (INO) administered after lung injury, pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and arterial oxygen tension (Pa(O(2))) may deteriorate more than before INO (rebound response). In this study, we investigated the possible roles of endothelin (ET)-1 and nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS) activity in the short rebound reaction to short-term inhalation of NO. Twenty-s...
