Homocysteine induced impairment of nitric oxide-dependent vasorelaxation is reversible by the superoxide dismutase mimetic TEMPOL.
BACKGROUND Elevated plasma homocysteine concentrations in renal patients are associated with accelerated cardiovascular disease. The mechanism(s) by which homocysteine acts remains unclear however, evidence implicates a role involving endothelial dysfunction. METHODS Rat femoral arteries after acute or 4-h pre-incubation with racemic D,L-homocysteine (100 microM) were mounted on a myograph, p...
متن کاملIntracellular but not extracellular conversion of nitroxyl anion into nitric oxide leads to stimulation of human neutrophil migration.
Considerable controversy exists in the literature with regard to the nature of the agent mediating the biological effects of nitroxyl (NO-) donors. Here it is demonstrated that Angeli's salt (AS), a generator of NO-, enhanced human neutrophil migration. Under aerobic conditions, AS was converted to peroxynitrite to a small extent. However, using methionine, a scavenger of peroxynitrite, it was ...

Molecular Infectious Diseases Groupf Department of Paediatrics, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, S t Mary's Hospital, London Copperand zinc-containing superoxide dismutases ([Cu,Zn]-SODS) are generally considered almost exclusively eukaryotic enzymes, protecting the cytosol and extracellular compartments of higher organisms from damage by oxygen free-radicals. The recent de...
متن کاملSuperoxide dismutase-based third-generation biosensor for superoxide anion.
A third-generation biosensor for superoxide anion (O2-) was developed by immobilizing superoxide dismutase (SOD) on a self-assembled monolayer of cysteine on gold electrode; i.e., a SOD/cysteine-modified gold electrode (SOD/Cys/Au) was fabricated. A rapid and direct electron transfer of SOD was realized at the gold electrode by using the cysteine molecule as an electron-transfer promoter. The p...
متن کاملThe ABC’s of the Reactions between Nitric Oxide, Superoxide, Peroxynitrite and Superoxide Dismutase
The interplay between nitric oxide and superoxide to form peroxynitrite is a major biological process that competes in a remarkably subtle fashion with superoxide dismutase in vivo. The complex interactions between superoxide, nitric oxide reveals some extraordinary features about the difficulties of effectively scavenging of superoxide in a biological system. The discovery of dominant mutation...
