The effect of nitric oxide on bacteria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nitric oxide, as well as several other oxides of nitrogen, were assayed for their antibacterial action. It is shown that nitric oxide has virtually no effect on bacteria, whereas both NaNO(3) and NaNO(2) appear to have either neutral or stimulatory effects. It is suggested that the formation of nitrous acid is mainly responsible for the quantitative as well as the qualitative changes that occur in the bacterial flora of cured meat. A pH-dependent "nitrite cycle" is presented to account for the production of nitrous acid in cured meat systems.

Background: In vitro culture of ovarian follicles may preserve fertility in women with premature ovarian failure due to cancer .It seems that creation a condition that could maintain cellular communications and supports growth of follicles to produce mature oocytes appear to be essential. Nitric oxide (NO) has been recently shown to act with a dual action in mouse oocyte meiotic maturation depe...

Background: Chicken sertoli cells are a model to evaluate the effects of toxic Materialss. These cells can actively proliferate in the in vitro conditions and they are able to passage several times. Because of the widespread use of nanosilver in life and also few studies on the effects of these Materialss on different cell lines, evaluation of its toxic effects is felt. Mechanism of nanosilver ...
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 کاملEffect of Neutrophils on Nitric Oxide Production from Stimulated Macrophages
Background: During the initial phase of an infection, there is an upregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase in the macrophages for the production of nitric oxide. This is followed by the recruitment of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) which release arginase. Arginase competes with inducible nitric oxide synthase for a common substrate L-arginine. Objective: To investigate whethe...
متن کاملEffect of nitric oxide on skin blood flow of intact and morphine- dependent rats
Introduction: The relation between morphine and nitric oxide release has been shown. Due to important role of nitric oxide in regulation of skin blood flow, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of nitric oxide synthase inhibitor (L-NAME) and nitric oxide synthesis precursor (L-arginine) on skin blood flow of intact and morphine-dependent rats. Methods: Skin blood flow of hind pa...

In the present study, interactions between lead exposure with nitric oxide precursor (L-arginine) or nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor (L-NAME) on naloxone-induced jumping and diarrhea in morphine-dependent mice were examined. Chronic lead acetate (0.05%) exposure altered naloxone-induced jumping and diarrhea in mice. Jumping was decreased after 7 days and was unchanged 14 and 28 days after...
