Sepsis: emerging role of nitric oxide and selectins.
Sepsis--a state of systemic bacterial infection--often leads to multiorgan failure and is associated with high mortality despite the recent advances achieved in intensive care treatment. Many of the ill effects of sepsis are attributed to an abnormally enhanced host inflammatory response that leads to neutrophil recruitment and activation involving selectins, a class of adhesion molecules, in t...
متن کاملNitric oxide: an emerging role in cardioprotection?
Over a decade of research has shown nitric oxide (NO) to be a ubiquitous modulator of biological phenomena from cell signal to eVector and from physiology to pathophysiology. The involvement of NO in cardiovascular biology has contributed significantly to our understanding of complex disease states including atherosclerosis, systemic and pulmonary hypertension, endotoxic shock, pre-eclampsia, c...

متن کاملSteroids and nitric oxide in sepsis.
Nitric oxide (NO) is produced by several cell types and has effects both detrimental and beneficial to the host. Sepsis and septic shock are conditions in which NO plays a central role in physiopathology. Stressful circumstances such as pathogens, toxins, and trauma elicit a wide variety of physiological changes. Steroid hormones and notably glucocorticoids are one of the main players in this o...
متن کاملNitric oxide in sepsis and endotoxaemia.
Nitric oxide (NO) is one of many vasoactive substances released, from a variety of cells, under conditions of endotoxaemia and sepsis. Under physiological conditions it is produced by two constitutive calcium-dependent enzymes (nitric oxide synthase; NOS) in neurones (nNOS) and endothelial cells (eNOS) and has functions ranging from neurotransmission and vasodilatation to inhibition of platelet...
