Defeat of the Defense?
Heme oxygenases (HOs) are rate-limiting enzymes that catalyze the conversion of heme into equimolar amounts of biliverdin, carbon monoxide (CO), and iron.1 Biliverdin is subsequently reduced to bilirubin pigment by biliverdin reductase.2 The heme oxygenases consist of 2 major isoforms, HO-1 and HO-2. Whereas HO-2 is constitutively produced within the brain, testes, and the endothelium, HO-1 gen...

متن کاملEndothelial nitric oxide synthase: host defense enzyme of the endothelium?
This article explores the physiology of superoxide generation by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), the so-called "uncoupled" state of the enzyme. The fact that this alternative chemistry of the eNOS enzyme is evolutionary strongly conserved, suggests that it may play a physiological role. It is proposed that this uncoupled state may contribute to defense against infections. As the switc...

متن کاملVascular Effects of ACE Inhibition Independent of the Renin-Angiotensin System in Hypertensive Renovascular Disease : A Randomized, Double-Blind, Crossover Trial.
-To evaluate whether ACE inhibition and angiotensin II type 1 blockade exert beneficial effects on NO availability independent of their blood pressure-lowering effect, we used a double-blind crossover design to study vascular function in 18 patients with hypertensive renovascular disease during 6 weeks of therapy with enalapril (Ena) and valsartan (Val) compared with non-renin-angiotensin syste...
