Antenatal insults modify newborn olfactory function by nitric oxide produced from neuronal nitric oxide synthase.
Newborn feeding, maternal, bonding, growth and wellbeing depend upon intact odor recognition in the early postnatal period. Antenatal stress may affect postnatal odor recognition. We investigated the exact role of a neurotransmitter, nitric oxide (NO), in newborn olfactory function. We hypothesized that olfactory neuron activity depended on NO generated by neuronal NO synthase (NOS). Utilizing ...
متن کاملNeuronal nitric oxide synthase modulates rat renal microvascular function.
This study was performed to determine the influence of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) on renal arteriolar tone under conditions of normal, interrupted, and increased volume delivery to the macula densa segment and on the microvascular responses to angiotensin II (ANG II). Experiments were performed in vitro on afferent (21.2 ± 0.2 μm) and efferent (18.5 ± 0.2 μm) arterioles of kidneys ha...

See article by M.R. Andersen and S. Stender [1] (pages arginine to L-citrulline and nitric oxide (NO). Since NO 192 –199) in this issue. and citrulline are formed in equi-molar quantities, NO formation was expressed in terms of citrulline production Andersen and Stender [1] have reported regional variaper million endothelial cells. Thus it was possible to tions in endothelial nitric oxide synth...
متن کاملPerlecan deficiency causes endothelial dysfunction by reducing the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase
Perlecan is a major heparan sulfate proteoglycan found in the subendothelial extracellular matrix of the vascular wall. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of perlecan in the regulation of vascular tone. A previously developed conditional perlecan-deficient mouse model was used to measure changes in the isometric force of isolated aortic rings. The vessels were first precontracted...
متن کاملMacula densa neuronal nitric oxide synthase.
In the juxtaglomerular apparatus of the kidney the distal tubule returns to its own glomerulus where specialised cells, the macula densa (MD) cells, are located so that they come in contact with the tubular fluid. It is well documented that MD cells sense the distal tubular flow-rate and that when the flow is too high they are activated, which leads to vasoconstriction of the afferent arteriola...
