association between tobacco smoke and serum nitric oxide metabolites concentration

چکیده
introduction: cigarette smoking affects nitric oxide production. the aim of this study was to determine associations between tobacco smoke and serum nitric oxide metabolites (nox) concentration. methods: serum nox concentration was measured by the griess method in 230 nonsmokers, 238 active, 196 passive and 29 waterpipe smokers. subjects were selected from participants of tehran lipid and glucose study and blood samples were taken 12-14 h after overnight fasting. mean nox values were compared between groups by analysis of variance and p values less than 0.05 were considered significant. results: serum nox concentration was significantly higher in smokers (28.2±1.0 μmol/l) compared to passive (25.8±1.0 μmol/l) and nonsmokers (25.3±1.0 μmol/l) (p<0.05), while no significant difference was found in the level of nox between passive and waterpipe smokers (29.0 ±1.1 μmol/l) compared to nonsmokers. conclusion: serum nox concentration is increased in active smokers, which may be involved in the development of vascular diseases.

متن کاملIncreasing of serum nitric oxide metabolites in chicken Eimeria infection
In order to determine the involvement of nitric oxide in the pathogenesis of coccidiosis induced by Eimeria, 30 chickens were challenged with mixed sporulated oocysts of four species of Eimeria (E. acervulina, E. maxima, E. necatrix, and E. tenella) at 26 days of age. There was an increasing of oocyst shedding in the infected birds at 6, 10 and 14 days post-infection. Histopathological examinat...
متن کاملIncreased nitric oxide metabolites in exhaled breath condensate after exposure to tobacco smoke.
BACKGROUND Cigarette smoking reduces the level of exhaled nitric oxide (NO) in healthy subjects, although the mechanism is unclear. NO is a highly reactive molecule which can be oxidised or complexed with other biomolecules, depending on the microenvironment. The stable oxidation end products of NO metabolism are nitrite and nitrate. This study investigated the effect of smoking on NO metabolit...
متن کاملChanges in plasma nitric oxide metabolites concentration during glucose tolerance test in type 2 diabetic rats
Introduction: Repeated hyperglycemia play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis in diabetic patients. Endothelium is the organ of the first-line defense against atherosclerosis and nitric oxide has a major role in this task. The aim of this study was to determine changes in plasma nitric oxide metabolites concentration during glucose tolerance test in type 2 diabetic rats. Me...
