• Modulation of astroglial energy metabolism by nitric oxide.

  Activated astroglial cells produce large amounts of nitric oxide (NO) which, through the binding to soluble guanylyl cyclase, rapidly increases cyclic GMP concentrations. In addition, through the bind…

• Modulation of arachidonic acid metabolism and nitric oxide synthesis by garcinol and its derivatives.

  Garcinol, a polyisoprenylated benzophenone, from the fruit rind of Garcinia spp., has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic activities. To study its mechanism of action, we analyze…

• The metabolic coupling of arginine metabolism to nitric oxide generation by astrocytes.

  Arginine, the only known precursor of nitric oxide, enters the brain parenchyma from the blood through the endothelial cells or from the cerebral spinal fluid through the ependymal cells. Astrocytes, …

• The role of alterations in arachidonic acid metabolism and nitric oxide homeostasis in rat models of diabetes during early pregnancy.

  The diabetic pathology induces reproductive abnormalities that enhance spontaneous abortion, congenital anomalies and neonatal morbidity/mortality rates, abnormalities that begin with an altered femal…

• Red blood cells in the metabolism of nitric oxide-derived peroxynitrite.

  In this review we have analyzed the reactions of nitric oxide (.NO) with superoxide radical (O(2).-) at the vascular compartment which results in limitation of the bioavailability of .NO and the forma…

• Redox thiol status plays a central role in the mobilization and metabolism of nitric oxide in human red blood cells.

  We assessed the redox thiol status influence on nitric oxide (NO) metabolism and efflux in erythrocytes stimulated with acetylcholinesterase substrate (acetylcholine, ACh) and inhibitor (velnacrine ma…

• Intrinsic optical signal of retinal spreading depression: second phase depends on energy metabolism and nitric oxide.

  Spreading depression (SD) is a wave-like phenomenon that spreads through the gray matter of central nervous tissue. The aim of this work is to investigate how cellular energy supply and nitric oxide (…

• Hyperammonemia-induced toxicity for the developing central nervous system.

  In pediatric patients, hyperammonemia can be caused by various acquired or inherited disorders such as urea cycle deficiencies or organic acidemias. The brain is much more susceptible to the deleterio…

• NADH-dependent metabolism of nitric oxide in alfalfa root cultures expressing barley hemoglobin.

  Transgenic alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.) root cultures expressing sense and antisense barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) hemoglobin were examined for their ability to metabolize NO. Extracts from lines over…

• Plant peroxisomes, reactive oxygen metabolism and nitric oxide.

  In plant cells, as in most eukaryotic organisms, peroxisomes are probably the major sites of intracellular H2O2 production, as a result of their essentially oxidative type of metabolism. Like mitochon…
