to find out the effect of sodium nitroprusside (snp) in reducing oxidative damage induced by salinity stress in barley seedlings, a crd based factorial experiment with three replications was conducted in agronomy laboratory of the faculty of agricultural sciences, university of guilan, in 2012. the experimental design consisted of two snp levels (0.1 and 0.2 mm snp; as nitric oxide (no) donor) ...

Bacteria use a number of mechanisms for coping with the toxic effects exerted by nitric oxide (NO) and its derivatives. Here we show that the flavohemoglobin encoded by the hmp gene has a vital role in an adaptive response to protect the soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis from nitrosative stress. We further show that nitrosative stress induced by the nitrosonium cation donor sodium nitroprusside ...

OBJECTIVE Obesity is associated with chronic inflammation due to overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. We assessed the effects of TNF-alpha neutralization by infliximab on vascular reactivity during hyperinsulinemia in obesity-related metabolic syndrome. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Vascular responses to intra-arterial infusion of acetylcholi...

The use of exogenous compounds such as ‘gasotransmitter’ molecules is a well-established agronomic strategy to improve the crop tolerance environmental stresses. In this current work, when Cr (200 µM) was combined with nitric oxide (NO) generator sodium nitroprusside SNP, 500 there suppression metal-induced alterations in embryo growth. Exogenous NO produced by SNP reduced accumulation toxic hy...

Controlled hypotension was induced in pigs by the infusion of adenosine, sodium nitroprusside (SNP) or nitroglycerin (TNG). Central and regional haemodynamics were studied using the microsphere technique during control and hypotensive periods. All three drugs produced decreases in mean arterial pressure (MAP), but it was very difficult to maintain stable values of hypotension with TNG, and it w...

objective: we used sodium nitroprusside (snp), a nitric oxide (no) releasing molecule, to understand its effect on viability and proliferation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (bm-mscs). materials and methods: this experimental study evaluated the viability and morphology of mscs in the presence of snp (100 to 2000 µm) at 1, 5, and 15 hours. we chose the 100, 1000, and 2000 µm concentr...

The in vitro effects of abscisic acid (ABA) and nitric oxide (NO) on the nematode-trapping fungus Drechslerella stenobrocha AS6.1 were examined. The average number of traps (constricting rings) per colony and the percentage of nematodes (Caenorhabditis elegans) trapped were greatly increased by addition of ABA but greatly suppressed by addition of sodium nitroprusside (SNP, an NO donor) to corn...

The requirement for Ca2+ and Mg2+ in the actions of insulin and sodium nitroprusside on rat adipocyte metabolism was investigated: sodium nitroprusside, but not insulin, increased cGMP levels in cells incubated in the absence of Ca2+ and/or Mg2+; sodium nitroprusside and insulin are unable to increase the incorporation of [14C]glucose into triglycerides and [14C]leucine into proteins in the abs...

Except when used briefly or at low (< 2 mcg/kg/min) infus ion rates , sodium nitropruss ide gives rise to important quantities of cyanide ion, which can reach toxic, potentially lethal levels (see WARNINGS). The usual dose rate is 0.5 to 10 mcg/kg/min, but infus ion at the maximum dose rate should never las t more than 10 minutes . If blood pressure has not been adequately controlled after 10 m...
