Heme availability affects corticosterone and aldosterone biosynthesis in rat adrenal.
In this paper, we studied the effect of heme availability on corticosterone and aldosterone synthesis in rat adrenal. We found that hemin stimulated corticosterone and aldosterone production in adrenal homogenates in a dose-dependent fashion. Hemin administration to rats also provoked an increase in both corticosterone and aldosterone content in adrenal. 3,5-Diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydro-2,4,6-t...
متن کاملHeme oxygenase activity in placenta: direct dependence on oxygen availability.
Carbon monoxide (CO), which is formed endogenously from heme catalyzed by heme oxygenase (HO), is proposed to play a role in vascular control. The mRNA and protein expression of the inducible isoform of HO (HO-1) increases in response to hypoxia, and it has been assumed that HO activity also increases. This assumption requires evaluation because the catalytic activity of HO requires three molec...
متن کاملIncreased eNO and pulmonary iNOS expression in eNOS null mice.
Nitric oxide (NO) is a major regulatory molecule of the cardiovascular system; however, measurement of vascular NO synthesis in vivo represents a major challenge. NO stemming from the lower respiratory tract has been used as a marker of vascular endothelial function. Experimental evidence for this concept is lacking. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate this relationship. ...
متن کاملiNOS expression and NO production by neutrophils in cancer patients.
INTRODUCTION The tumor-polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) relationship can be altered by the release of toxic molecules, such as nitric oxide (NO). The aim of the present study was to examine the expression of the inducible synthase of NO (iNOS)and NO production by human neutrophils of patients with oral cavity cancer. For comparison we performed similar examinations in autologous peripheral bl...
متن کاملiNOS expression and osteocyte apoptosis in idiopathic, non-traumatic osteonecrosis
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Non-traumatic osteonecrosis is a progressive disease with multiple etiologies. It affects younger individuals more and more, often leading to total hip arthroplasty. We investigated whether there is a correlation between inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression and osteocyte apoptosis in non-traumatic osteonecrosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS We collected and studied...
