EXPRESSION OF INDUCIBLE NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE GENE (iNOS) STIMULATED BY HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IN HUMAN ENDOTHELIAL CELLS
Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expresses a calcium calmudolin-independent enzyme which can catalyse NO production from L-arginine. The induction of iNOS activity has been demonstrated in a wide variety of cell types under stimulation with cytokines and lipopoly saccharide (LPS). Previous studies indicated that all nitric oxide synthases (NOS) activated in human umbilical vein endot...
متن کاملAloe 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...

متن کاملInhibition of inducible nitric-oxide synthase expression by silymarin in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated macrophages.
Silymarin, a polyphenolic flavonoid antioxidant, is known to have anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, and anticarcinogenic effects. In the present study, we report the inhibitory effect of silymarin on nitric oxide production and inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expression in macrophages. In vivo administration of silymarin attenuated nitric oxide production by peritoneal macrophage...
متن کاملExpression of inducible nitric oxide synthase by macrophages in rat lung.
Nitric oxide (NO) is a short-lived free radical that is secreted by pulmonary macrophages (Mø). An inducible isoform of NO synthase (iNOS) catalyses the production of NO and is activated by lipopolysaccharide and certain T-helper(h) 1 cytokines, including interferon-gamma and TNF-alpha. In the present study, iNOS+ interstitial cells were demonstrated in the alveolar wall of normal Lewis rat lun...
