Cytoglobin regulates blood pressure and vascular tone through nitric oxide metabolism in the vascular wall
The identity of the specific nitric oxide dioxygenase (NOD) that serves as the main in vivo regulator of O2-dependent NO degradation in smooth muscle remains elusive. Cytoglobin (Cygb) is a recently discovered globin expressed in fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells with unknown function. Cygb, coupled with a cellular reducing system, efficiently regulates the rate of NO consumption by metaboliz...
متن کاملModulation of Renal Blood Flow and Vascular Tone by Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase-Derived Nitric Oxide
Nitric oxide (NO) formed via neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in renal vasculature and tissues and in the brain plays an important role in controlling renal hemodynamics, renal function, and systemic blood pressure. Activation of parasympathetic nitrergic nerves innervating renal vasculature contributes to vasodilatation in renal arteries and preand postglomerular arterioles, an increase i...

متن کاملCocoa flavanols: effects on vascular nitric oxide and blood pressure
Diets rich in fruits and vegetables have been associated with benefits for human health. Those effects have been partially ascribed to their content in flavonoids, compounds that are present in many edible plants and its derived foods. In humans, a significant number of studies has been developed analyzing the effect of foods and beverages rich in flavonoids on the presence and progression of r...
متن کاملNitric oxide modulates vascular tone in preglomerular arterioles.
Blockade of nitric oxide reduces renal blood flow, but the site or sites at which nitric oxide alters renal vascular resistance are unknown. The effects of N omega-nitro-L-arginine (100 microM), an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthesis, on the pressure-diameter relation of renal arterioles was studied using a rat juxtamedullary microvascular preparation perfused in vitro with a physiological salt...
