Nitric oxide modulates ATP-evoked currents in mouse Leydig cells
Testosterone synthesis within Leydig cells is a calcium-dependent process. Intracellular calcium levels are regulated by different processes including ATP-activated P2X purinergic receptors, T-type Ca2+ channels modulated by the luteinizing hormone, and intracellular calcium storages recruited by a calcium-induced calcium release mechanism. On the other hand, nitric oxide (NO) is reported to ha...
متن کاملCortical Actin Nanodynamics Determines Nitric Oxide Release in Vascular Endothelium
The release of the main vasodilator nitric oxide (NO) by the endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) is a hallmark of endothelial function. We aim at elucidating the underlying mechanism how eNOS activity depends on cortical stiffness (К(cortex)) of living endothelial cells. It is hypothesized that cortical actin dynamics determines К(cortex) and directly influences eNOS activity. By combined atomic for...
متن کاملsupernatants from staphylococcus aureus grown in the presence of b-lactam antibiotics induce release of nitric oxide from mouse macrophages
introduction: septic shock is now recognized to be associated with multiple critical organ failure, usually attributable to the uncontrolled release of multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tnf, inf, il-6, il-1, and no (nitric oxide). no is one of the most important proinflammatory mediators in sepsis and septic shock. it is a potent vasodilator, and appears to be responsible for hypotens...
متن کاملDistribution of neurons in functional areas of the mouse cerebral cortex reveals quantitatively different cortical zones
How are neurons distributed along the cortical surface and across functional areas? Here we use the isotropic fractionator (Herculano-Houzel and Lent, 2005) to analyze the distribution of neurons across the entire isocortex of the mouse, divided into 18 functional areas defined anatomically. We find that the number of neurons underneath a surface area (the N/A ratio) varies 4.5-fold across func...
متن کاملAdrenergic- and capsaicin-evoked nitric oxide release from urothelium and afferent nerves in urinary bladder.
Nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated in the regulation of the lower urinary tract. However, the source(s) of NO production in the urinary bladder (UB) has not been determined. Accordingly, we used a porphyrinic microsensor placed on the surface of UB strips in vitro to directly measure endogenous NO production. The afferent neurotoxin, capsaicin, and the mixed α/β-adrenergic agonist, norepinep...
