Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule that is widely used in the nervous
system. With recognition of its roles in synaptic plasticity (long-term potentiation, LTP; long …

The current perspective of NO biology is formulated predominantly from studies of NO
synthesis. The role of S-nitrosothiol (SNO) formation and turnover in governing NO-related …

The vascular endothelium synthesises the vasodilator and anti-aggregatory mediator nitric
oxide (NO) from L-arginine. This action is catalysed by the action of NO synthases, of which …

Hypertension is associated with an elevation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and
frequently also with an impairment of endogenous antioxidant mechanisms. Experimental …

Nitric oxide (NO) is one of the most pleiotropic signaling molecules at systemic and cellular
levels, participating in vascular tone regulation, cellular respiration, proliferation, apoptosis …

Drugs and antibodies that interrupt vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling
pathways improve outcomes in patients with a variety of cancers by inhibiting tumor …

Among all physiologic functions of nitric oxide (NO) known so far, NO-dependent regulation
of vascular tone is one of the most important. Under physiological conditions vascular NO is …

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that resides, in a latent form, in the
human central nervous system. Infection with Toxoplasma drastically alters the behaviour of …
