Nitric oxide (NO) is a highly reactive molecule, generated through metabolism of L-arginine
by NO synthase (NOS). Abnormal NO levels in mammalian cells are associated with multiple …

S-nitrosylation is a selective and reversible post-translational modification of protein thiols by
nitric oxide (NO), which is a bioactive signaling molecule, to exert a variety of effects. These …

Background Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) is responsible for synthesizing nitric oxide (NO)
from L-arginine, and involved in multiple physiological functions. However, its …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a well-known regulator of vascular activities in vertebrates and it has also
been implicated as a vasodilatatory agent in a cephalopod. In the sea pansy Renilla …

Larval molluscs commonly use ciliated vela to swim and feed. In this study we used
immunohistochemistry to demonstrate innervation of velar cilia and muscles by …

ABSTRACT NOS is the key component of the NO system, which plays an indispensable role
in many physiologic and immunologic processes; however, the process that underlies the …

Embryos of freshwater snails undergo direct development from single cell to juvenile inside
egg masses that are deposited on vegetation and other substratum in pond, lake and stream …

Embryos of the pond snail Helisoma trivolvis express three known subtypes of ciliary cells
on the surface of the embryo early in development: pedal, dorsolateral and scattered single …

Acceleration of embryonic rotation is a common response to hypoxia among pond snails. It
was first characterized in Helisoma trivolvis embryos, which have a pair of sensorimotor …
