Aloe vera toxic effects: expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in testis of Wistar rat

Objective(s): Nitric oxide (NO), a product of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), contributes in germ cell apoptosis. This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of Aloe vera gel (AVG) on male Wistar rat reproductive organ, serum NO level, and expression of iNOS gene in leydig cells. Materials and Methods:Adult male Wistar rats (n=36) were used for experiments in three groups. The experim...

Inducible nitric oxide synthase and inflammatory diseases.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a colorless gas at room temperature and one of the simplest molecules known, yet it has been implicated in a wide variety of regulatory mechanisms ranging from vasodilatation and blood pressure control to neurotransmission. It is also involved in nonspecific immunity and participates in the complex mechanism of tissue injury as a major mediator of inflammatory processes and...

Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase: What Difference

Fire sweeps through the brush. In its aftermath, dormant seeds of chaparral, savanna, heath, and scrub begin to germinate in response to a “go” signal in the smoke. Even though smokesoaked water kills the seeds, in diluted form it triggers their development. The chemical cues are nitrogen oxides (1). This lesson of death and life in the field mirrors comparable events within us, where reactive ...
