Differing effects of polyamines on nitric oxide synthase.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the central and peripheral nervous system Larginine acts as a common substrate for a number of metabolic reactions including the production of polyamines and nitric oxide (NO). NO has become established as a diffusible messenger mediating cell-cell interactions including neuronal signalling [ 11. Recent research has shown that an excess or shortage in NO production has been linked with various disease states.

Arginase Activity and Its Effects on Pathogenesis of Leishmania
Leishmaniasis is a tropical parasitic disease that has become a major health challenge in many countries of the world. Not only has not been found any effective vaccine or treatment for the disease eradication, but also the advent of drug resistance is also increasing. Therefore, it is vital to take a precise attention to the physiochemical cycles of the Leishmania parasite and to identify i...
متن کاملEffects of Arginine Pretreatments on Oxidative Stress Damages and Alkaloid Content in Roots of Hyoscyamus niger under Nickel Stress
Heavy metal pollution is a worldwide problem with serious environmental consequences. The objective of the present experiment was to investigate whether arginine as nitric oxide precursor and or polyamines substrate can decrease the destructive effects of oxidative stress induced by nickel contamination in Hyoscyamus niger plant. In this study the effects of arginine pretreatment on alkaloid co...
متن کاملRole of matrix metalloproteinase II on analgesic effect of nitric oxide inhibition in rat
Abstract Introduction: Matrix metalloproteinase 2 is one of the inflammatory mediators that is involved in nociceptive processing and its production is regulated by many inflammatory factors such as nitric oxide. We studied the role of MMP-2 on the analgesic effects of nNOS inhibitor. Methods: Considering that nitric oxide has many roles in pain processing, we studied the CSF levels of MMP-2 ...
متن کاملAloe vera toxic effects: expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in testis of Wistar rat
Objective(s): Nitric oxide (NO), a product of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), contributes in germ cell apoptosis. This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of Aloe vera gel (AVG) on male Wistar rat reproductive organ, serum NO level, and expression of iNOS gene in leydig cells. Materials and Methods:Adult male Wistar rats (n=36) were used for experiments in three groups. The experim...
متن کاملNitric oxide ameliorates salinity tolerance in Pyrodwarf pear (Pyrus communis) rootstocks by regulating polyamine content
Nitric oxide (NO), an endogenous signaling molecule, is involved in various physiological processes and stress responses in plants. In the present research, Pyrodwarf pear (Pyrus communis) rootstocks were grown by nutrient solution to investigate the effects of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) application as an NO donor at 0, 0.1, 0.5, and 1 mM levels on plant stress tolerance, content of ma...
