Nitric Oxide: Perspectives and Emerging Studies of a Well Known Cytotoxin
The free radical nitric oxide (NO(*)) is known to play a dual role in human physiology and pathophysiology. At low levels, NO(*) can protect cells; however, at higher levels, NO(*) is a known cytotoxin, having been implicated in tumor angiogenesis and progression. While the majority of research devoted to understanding the role of NO(*) in cancer has to date been tissue-specific, we herein revi...
متن کاملemerging issues and perspectives in boundary studies
introduction as a dynamic phenomenon, boundary is one of the basic issues in political geography and geopolitics. it is not a geographical and fixed phenomenon; rather, it has its own internal dynamic features, creates new realities, and affects the lives of people and groups living in its vicinity. different types of boundaries, such as political, social, economic, and virtual can be impenetra...
متن کاملpostnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)
1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...
The production and detoxification of a potent cytotoxin, nitric oxide, by pathogenic enteric bacteria.
The nitrogen cycle is based on several redox reactions that are mainly accomplished by prokaryotic organisms, some archaea and a few eukaryotes, which use these reactions for assimilatory, dissimilatory or respiratory purposes. One group is the Enterobacteriaceae family of Gammaproteobacteria, which have their natural habitats in soil, marine environments or the intestines of humans and other w...
متن کاملIs Nitric Oxide a Hormone?
Nitric oxide (NO) is a simple ubiquitous signaling molecule and plays important roles in almost every biological system. Recent evidences suggest that NO may act as an endocrine molecule. The aim of this review is considering available literature on endocrine roles of NO and/or its metabolites, i.e. nitrite and nitrate. Existing data suggest the idea that NO is a hormone that after production i...
