Nitric oxide radicals choreograph a radioadaptive response.
The reduced biological effects of radiation exposure seen in cells after conditioning exposures to a low dose or at a low-dose rate (i.e., the acquisition of resistance against high-dose radiation) is called the "radioadaptive response" and many studies concerning this phenomenon have been reported since the 1980s. Radioadaptive responses have been observed using various end points, such as chr...
متن کاملIn vivo radioadaptive response
Radioadaptive response (RAR) describes phenomena where small conditioning doses of ionizing radiation (IR) reduce detrimental effects of subsequent higher IR doses. Current radiation protection regulations do not include RAR because of the large variability in expression among individuals and uncertainties of the mechanism. However, RAR should be regarded as an indispensable factor for estimati...
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...
متن کاملOxygen radicals, nitric oxide and human inflammatory joint disease.
Interest in the role of free radicals in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) stems from the seminal work of McCord,' who noted the decreased viscosity of synovial fluid in RA patients and showed that a similar decrease could be produced by exposing synovial fluid, or solutions of hyaluronic acid, to a system generating superoxide radical, 02-. McCord's observations led to interest in the use of intraarti...
متن کاملNitric oxide and immune response.
Nitric oxide (NO), initially described as a physiological mediator of endothelial cell relaxation plays an important role in hypotension. It is an intercellular messenger and has been recognized as one of the most versatile players in the immune system. Cells of the innate immune system--macrophages, neutrophils and natural killer (NK) cells use pattern recognition receptors to recognize molecu...
