Nitric oxide and superoxide in biological systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The chemistry of peroxynitrite is complex and highly pHdependent [6,7]. Not only peroxynitrite anion (ONOO-) and its conjugated acid, peroxynitrous acid (ONOOH) (pKa = 6.8) are potent oxidants by themselves [8,9] but also they can lead to the production of secondary reactive species. Moreover, peroxynitrite is capable of nitrating aromatics [10] in a process that can be enhanced by metal centres and CO2 [11].

Objective: In this study, inhibitory effect of Zataria multiflora essential oil on superoxide and nitric oxide production and NADH oxidase (NOX) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) expression was examined. Materials and Methods: Zataria essential oil was obtained by hydro-distillation and chemical composition was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Superoxide and ni...
متن کاملThe ABC’s of the Reactions between Nitric Oxide, Superoxide, Peroxynitrite and Superoxide Dismutase
The interplay between nitric oxide and superoxide to form peroxynitrite is a major biological process that competes in a remarkably subtle fashion with superoxide dismutase in vivo. The complex interactions between superoxide, nitric oxide reveals some extraordinary features about the difficulties of effectively scavenging of superoxide in a biological system. The discovery of dominant mutation...
متن کاملNitric oxide and superoxide in biological systems
The measurement of nitric oxide (NO) is important for direct examination of the regulatory roles of this radical in various biological systems. Nitric oxide production indeed participates in the control of major cell functions including reactivity, proliferation and apoptosis. An inappropriate production or metabolism of this radical led to the development of various pathologies, including card...

Nitric oxide (NO) as a gaseous molecule has a central role in plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Low temperature is an important factor that limits the survival, productivity and geographical distribution of plants in large areas of the world. Low temperatures by a variety of biochemical, physiological and molecular changes are leading to oxidative stress. In this experiment, the e...
