Nitric oxide signalling in insects.
The gas, nitric oxide (NO), was first described as a second messenger molecule at least a decade ago; since then, research into mechanisms of intracellular generation of NO and of the functional role of the NO signalling pathway has generated thousands of research papers, many reviews and a Nobel Prize. This reflects the fundamental importance of NO and its signalling processes in biology and m...
متن کاملNitric oxide signalling: insect brains and photocytes.
The success of insects arises partly from extraordinary biochemical and physiological specializations. For example, most species lack glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and respiratory-gas transport proteins and thus allow oxygen to diffuse directly into cells. To counter the increased potential for oxidative damage, insect tissues rely on the indirect protection of the thioredoxin r...

Nitric oxide (NO) is a pluripotent gaseous free radical that has been identified as an important signaling molecule in virtually every tissue in the body. In the liver, like many other organs, NO has many actions and can be derived from multiple cellular sources. As a result, the exact role of NO in regulating cell or organ function is complex, and experimental evidence often appears to be cont...
متن کاملThe biological chemistry of nitric oxide as it pertains to the extrapulmonary effects of inhaled nitric oxide.
The chemical properties of nitric oxide (NO) have been studied for over 200 years. However, it is only within the last 20 years that the biological implications of this chemistry have been considered. The classical model of NO action within the vasculature centers on production in the endothelium, diffusion to the smooth muscle, and subsequent activation of guanylate cyclase via binding to its ...
