Five genes have been identified as causing Bartter syndrome (types IV), with the unifying
pathophysiology being the loss of salt transport by the thick ascending limb. Phenotypic …

Adrenomedullin (AM), identified from pheochromocytoma and having 52 amino acids, elicits
a long-lasting vasodilatation and diuresis. AM is mainly mediated by the intracellular …

Adrenomedullin (AM) is a recently discovered regulatory peptide involved in many functions
including vasodilatation, electrolyte balance, neurotransmission, growth, and hormone …

Background The pathogenesis of psoriasis has not been known exactly yet. Recently, it has
been suggested that increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as nitric oxide (NO) and …

Objective: The aim was to discuss the balance between free radical damage and body
defense mechanisms that occurred in reexpansed pulmonary tissue and to evaluate the …

Background Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor β1 (TGF‐
β1), and nitric oxide (NO) have been reported to be contributory factors to the pathogenesis …

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of selective nuclear factor κ‐B (NFκ‐B) inhibitors,
pyrolidium dithiocarbamate (PD) and sulfasalazine (SZ) on renal tubular necrosis and …

Adrenomedullin is a highly conserved peptide implicated in a variety of physiological
processes ranging from pregnancy and embryonic development to tumor progression. This …

Adrenomedullin has several properties. It acts as a potent vasodilator, has natriuretic effects,
and reduces endothelial permeability. It also plays a role in initiating the early hyperdynamic …

Publisher Summary The chapter presents a study related to the quantitation of s-nitrosothiols
(RSNO) in cells and biological fluids. RSNO are a class of chemical compounds that are …
