(2007)The endogenous cannabinoid receptor agonist anandamide (AEA) exerts vascular effects such as vasodilatation and hypotension. In this study, we determined the effect of AEA on endothelin-1 production by cultured human ...
-
(2004)Production of nitric oxide (NO) by glial cells has been proposed to mediate cytotoxic effects on neighboring neurons. Although extensive genetic data implicate the beta amyloid peptide (Aβ) in the neurodegenerative cascade ...
-
(2000)Nitric oxide (NO) activates a K+ current in dissociated amphibian olfactory receptor neurons. Using the patch-clamp technique in its whole-cell mode and stimulation with puffs of the NO-donor sodium nitroprusside, we further ...
-
(1997)We studied the effects of sodium nitroprusside, a nitric oxide donor, on the chemosensory responses to cyanide and nicotine in the cat carotid body. In situ, sodium nitroprusside infusion reduced the cyanide-evoked responses ...

International Regulations of Propolis Quality: Required Assays do not Necessarily Reflect their ... (Institute of Food Technologists, 2015)Propolis has been proposed as a polyphenolic-rich natural product potentially able to be used for human consumption or even for medicinal proposes. To guarantee a minimum phenolic and flavonoid content and as consequence ...
-
(2001)The involvement of cytosolic nitric oxide (NO) and mitochondrial superoxide radical (O2 ·-) production was evaluated as a mechanism triggering liver oxidative stress in lindane (40 mg/kg) or L-3,3′,5-triiodothyronine (T3, ...
-
(2010)We determined whether postnatal pulmonary hypertension induced by 70% of pregnancy at high altitude (HA) persists once the offspring return to sea level and investigated pulmonary vascular mechanisms operating under these ...
-
(Elsevier, 2017)Pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus subjected to diet (GDMd) that do not reach normal glycaemia are passed to insulin therapy (GDMi). GDMd associates with increased human cationic amino acid transporter ...
-
(Wiley & Sons, 2015)Experimental studies in animal models supporting protective effects on the fetus of melatonin in adverse pregnancy have prompted clinical trials in human pregnancy complicated by fetal growth restriction. However, the ...
-
(2007)Background: Endothelial dysfunction is associated to a lower production of nitric oxide and a reduction of endothelium mediated vasodilation. Aim: To study the effects of pharmacological agents that modify nitric oxide ...
-
(Elsevier, 1999)The putative role of nitric oxide (NO) in the physiology of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) is controversial. Here we report that pulses of NO caused an outward current in voltage-clamped isolated olfactory neurons. The ...
-
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2009-02-05)Nitric oxide regulates neurogenesis in the developing and adult brain. The olfactory epithelium is a site of neurogenesis in the adult and previous studies suggest a role for nitric oxide in this tissue during development. We ...
-
(Elsevier, 2012)Nitric oxide (NO), at physiological concentrations, is a tonic inhibitory modulator of carotid body (CB) chemosensory discharges. NO modulates the chemoreception process by several mechanisms, indirectly by modifying the ...
-
(Elsevier, 2015)Hypoxia induces several responses at cardiovascular, pulmonary and reproductive levels, which may lead to chronic diseases. This is relevant in human populations exposed to high altitude (HA), in either chronic continuous ...
-
(MDPI AG, 2019)Nitric oxide-releasing aspirins (NO-aspirins) are aspirin derivatives that are safer than the parent drug in the gastrointestinal context and have shown superior cytotoxic effects in several cancer models. Despite the ...
-
(1998)To evaluate the effect of nitric oxide (NO·) in human corpus luteum (CL) function, we investigated the expression and the presence of NO· synthase (NOS) in the human CL and the action of NO· on the in vitro luteal ...
-
(1995)The metabolites that mediate coronary reactive hyperemia have not been definitely identified. Although adenosine and endothelium derived substances seem to be involved, their relative contributions have not been defined ...
-
(2002)Objective: To investigate the role of nitric oxide (NO) and death regulatory genes, bcl-2 and bax, in human endometria apoptosis.Design: Expression of bcl-2, bax, NO synthases (NOS), and the apoptotic effect of L-arginine ...
-
(1998)We studied the effects of the nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor, Nω- nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), and the NO donor, sodium nitroprusside (SNP) on cat chemosensory responses to intravenous injections of NaCN ...
-
(2001)A series of S-nitrosothiol compounds, structurally related to the NO-donor S-nitroso-N-acetyl-D,L-penicillamine (SNAP) that contain amidin groups were synthesised by S-nitrosation of the corresponding thiols and characterised. ...
