The nitric oxide pathway in pre-eclampsia: pathophysiological implications.

Pre-eclampsia, one of the most significant health problems in human pregnancy, complicates approximately 6-8% of all gestations and is the leading cause of fetal growth retardation, infant morbidity and mortality, premature birth and maternal death. Recent research implicates free radicals in the pathophysiology of pre-eclampsia. This review covers the biochemistry of nitric oxide (NO) and poss...

Gating NO release from nitric oxide synthase.

We have investigated the kinetics of NO escape from Geobacillus stearothermophilus nitric oxide synthase (gsNOS). Previous work indicated that NO release was gated at position 223 in mammalian enzymes; our kinetics experiments include mutants at that position along with measurements on the wild type enzyme. Employing stopped-flow UV-vis methods, reactions were triggered by mixing a reduced enzy...

Nitric oxide: what's new to NO?

Nitric oxide (NO) is one of the critical components of the vasculature, regulating key signaling pathways in health. In macrovessels, NO functions to suppress cell inflammation as well as adhesion. In this way, it inhibits thrombosis and promotes blood flow. It also functions to limit vessel constriction and vessel wall remodeling. In microvessels and particularly capillaries, NO, along with gr...
