Immunoregulatory and Antimicrobial Effects of Nitrogen Oxides

Immunoregulatory and antimicrobial effects of nitrogen oxides.

The therapeutic effects of inhaled nitric oxide (NO) therapy are thought to be restricted to the pulmonary vasculature because of rapid inactivation of NO by hemoglobin in the bloodstream. However, recent data suggest that inhaled NO may not only be scavenged by the heme iron of hemoglobin but also may react with protein thiols in the bloodstream, including cysteine-93 of the hemoglobin B subun...

Antimicrobial effects of arginine and nitrogen oxides and their potential role in sepsis.

! 2006 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins 1363-1950 Introduction The amino acid arginine (ARG) (L-amino-5-guanidinovaleric acid) has traditionally been classified as nonessential for adults and children [1] because the human body can synthesize it. ARG, however, is essential for growth and development in many mammals and can be considered non-essential only in fully grown adult animals [2]. More rec...

Control of Nitrogen Oxides

Effects of higher oxides of nitrogen on the anaesthetized dog.

The physiological derangements during and following the administration of higher oxides of nitrogen have been studied in dogs anaesthetized with pentobarbitone. The dogs were exposed to concentrations of nitric oxide or nitrogen dioxide between 0.1 and 2.0 per cent over periods between 5 and 136 minutes. Despite the inhalation of 98 per cent oxygen, death was always associated with a critical r...
