Heterozygous eNOS deficiency is associated with oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction in diet-induced obesity.

Physiological reports

Ali MI, Chen X, Didion SP.
PMID: 26660551
Physiol Rep. 2015 Dec;3(12). doi: 10.14814/phy2.12630.

Heterozygous endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) deficiency is associated with normal endothelium-dependent responses, however, little is known regarding the mechanisms that maintain or impair endothelial function with heterozygous eNOS deficiency. The goals of this study were to (1) determine...

Sericin-derived oligopeptides obtained from silk cocoons were investigated for the in vivo hypotensive effect and investigated for the underlying mechanism involved in vasodilation in isolated rat thoracic aorta. In normotensive anesthetized rats, oligopeptides induced an immediate and transient hypotensive...

Regenerative therapy

Amano H, Iwaki F, Oki M, Aoki K, Ohba S.
PMID: 31667208
Regen Ther. 2019 Sep 27;11:290-296. doi: 10.1016/j.reth.2019.08.007. eCollection 2019 Dec.

OBJECTIVE: The helioxanthin derivative 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)thieno[2,3-b:5,4-c']dipyridine-2-carboxamide (TH) is a low-molecular-weight compound that was identified through screening for osteogenic compounds that enhance the activity of mouse preosteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. In the present study, we found that TH suppressed osteoclast differentiation.METHODS: Using...

Aspirin has been widely recommended for acute and chronic conditions for over 2,000 years. Either single or repetitive doses are commonly used for analgesic and antipyretic reasons and to prevent heart attacks, stroke, and blood clot formation. Recent studies...

Cyclic GMP protects human macrophages against peroxynitrite-induced apoptosis.

Journal of inflammation (London, England)

Shaw CA, Webb DJ, Rossi AG, Megson IL.
PMID: 19422695
J Inflamm (Lond). 2009 May 07;6:14. doi: 10.1186/1476-9255-6-14.

BACKGROUND: Nitric oxide (NO) can be both pro- and anti-apoptotic in various cell types, including macrophages. This apparent paradox may result from the actions of NO-related species generated in the microenvironment of the cell, for example the formation of...
