چکیده
The objective of this study was to determine intradialytic blood levels of nitric oxide (NO), in patients undergoing chronic haemodialysis. This was done by detection of nitrosylhaemoglobin by a sensitive technique of spin trap electron paramagnetic resonance at 0, 5, 15, 60, 180 and 240 min of a 4-h standard bicarbonate dialysis, using the same dose (6000 U) of heparin and different dialysis membranes. The study group included 12 patients treated with cellulose-derived dialysis membranes (nine with cuprophan and three with cellulose triacetate) and 10 patients treated with synthetic membranes (five with polysulfone and five with polymethylmethacrylate). Control groups included 11 normal subjects and six patients with end-stage renal failure who were receiving intermittent peritoneal dialysis. Basal blood levels of nitrosylhaemoglobin in haemodialysis patients were significantly higher than normals, but similar to peritoneal dialysis patients. A significant increase (P < 0.01) in nitrosylhaemoglobin level was detected at 15 min of haemodialysis irrespective of the membrane used. A decrease to basal levels at 180 min was observed in all but two cuprophan-treated patients who, in contrast to the others, had a symptomatic hypotension at the end of the session and a further increase in blood nitric oxide. Patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis did not show any change in blood levels of nitrosylhaemoglobin during the first 180 min of the procedure. Thus, a constant increase in nitrosylhaemoglobin levels was observed early in haemodialysis, but not in peritoneal dialysis patients. Very preliminary evidence was obtained for a role of nitric oxide in the vascular instability at the end of haemodialysis in a few patients who had hypotensive episodes.

Effects of angiotensin II blockade on nitric oxide blood levels in IgA nephropathy.
BACKGROUND The effects of renin-angiotensin system blockade on nitric oxide (NO), especially in pathological conditions, are far from being established. The influence of kinins and angiotensin type 2 receptor are largely speculative and based mainly on animal studies. This study was aimed to address these aspects in humans. METHODS Eight IgA nephropathy patients with documented clinical and h...
متن کاملBrisk production of nitric oxide and associated formation of S-nitrosothiols in early hemorrhage.
The results of previous inhibitor studies suggest that there is some increase in nitric oxide (NO) production from constitutive NO synthase in early hemorrhage (H), but the magnitude of NO production early after H has not been previously assessed. It is generally believed that only modest production rates are possible from the constitutively expressed NO synthases. To study this, anesthetized m...
متن کاملElectron paramagnetic resonance for quantitation of nitric oxide in aqueous solutions.
Nitric oxide ('NO) has many complex and diverse biological functions. 1-3 For example, it functions as an endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF), a vascular antioxidant, and as a messenger molecule in the cardiovascular and immune systems. Nitric oxide also plays important roles in the biochemical aspects of a plethora of disorders. A molecule of such significance needs reliable methods for...

Insulin increases the sensitivity of tumors to irradiation: involvement of an increase in tumor oxygenation mediated by a nitric oxide-dependent decrease of the tumor cells oxygen consumption.
The effects of insulin on tumor oxygenation, perfusion, oxygen consumption,and radiation sensitivity were studied on two different mouse tumor models (TLT, a liver tumor, and FSAII, a fibrosarcoma). Anesthetized mice were infused with insulin i.v. at a rate of 16 milliUnits/kg/min for 25 min. Local tumor oxygenation measurements were carried out using two independent techniques: electron parama...
