• 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 ...

• 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 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 ...

• 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 ...

• 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 ...

• 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 ...

• Nitrite-driven anaerobic methane oxidation by oxygenic bacteria.

  Only three biological pathways are known to produce oxygen: photosynthesis, chlorate respiration and the detoxification of reactive oxygen species. Here we present evidence for a fourth pathway, possi ...
