Optimal retinal neuronal cell function requires an appropriate, tightly regulated environment,
provided by cellular barriers, which separate functional compartments, maintain their …

Behçet disease is an idiopathic, multisystem, chronic, and recurrent disease characterized
by exacerbations alternating with phases of quiescence, episodic panuveitis, and …

Catalyzed by endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase (eNOS) activity, NO is a gaseous
signaling molecule maintaining endothelial and cardiovascular homeostasis. Principally, NO …

The predominant risk factor for the progression of glaucoma is an increase in IOP, mediated
via a reduction in aqueous outflow through the conventional (trabecular meshwork and …

The distribution of the immunoreactivity to nitric oxide synthase has been examined from
rostral to caudal areas of the rat central nervous system using light microscopy. Endogenous …

Recent works have highlighted the role of nitric oxide in a wide array of disease entities,
including septic shock, hypertension, cerebral ischemia, and chronic degenerative diseases …

PURPOSE: Recent evidence suggests that nitric oxide (NO) is a major messenger molecule

Most therapy for glaucoma is directed at the management of the intraocular pressure (IOP).
Conventional wisdom holds that excessive pressure within the eye leads to the ganglion cell …

Background: The origin of Behçet's disease (BD) is unclear. One of the prominent features of
BD is vasculitis and thrombosis as a result of endothelial dysfunction. Because nitric oxide …
