Nitric oxide generating/releasing materials
Harnessing the impressive therapeutic potential of nitric oxide (NO) remains an ongoing challenge. This paper describes several of the current strategies both with respect to the underlying chemistry and physics and to the applications where they have shown promise. Included in this overview are molecular systems such as NONOates that release NO through chemical reactions and delivery vehicles ...
متن کاملThe Possible Involvement of Nitric Oxide/Endothelium Derived Relaxing Factor in Atropine-Induced Vasorelaxation
Atropine has been used to block cholinergic neurotransmission in basic research. Large doses of atropine cause vasodilation of the blood vessels in the skin. This effect is apparently unconnected with the antimuscarinic activity of atropine and seems to be due to a direct action on the blood vessels. It has been suggested that atropine blocks muscarinic receptors at low doses and it induces th...
متن کاملThe Vascular Endothelium, a Benign Restrictive Barrier? NO! Role of Nitric Oxide in Regulating Insulin Action
Insulin resistance is the primary abnormality associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension (1,2). Interestingly, these disease processes also share a common underlying impairment of vascular endothelial function. For many years the endothelium was thought of as nothing more than a benign barrier between blood and extracellular space. But intensive investigations demonstrate a myri...
متن کاملNitric oxide-releasing porous silicon nanoparticles
In this study, the ability of porous silicon nanoparticles (PSi NPs) to entrap and deliver nitric oxide (NO) as an effective antibacterial agent is tested against different Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. NO was entrapped inside PSi NPs functionalized by means of the thermal hydrocarbonization (THC) process. Subsequent reduction of nitrite in the presence of d-glucose led to the produ...
متن کاملEndothelium-derived nitric oxide supports renin cell recruitment through the nitric oxide-sensitive guanylate cyclase pathway.
Chronic challenge of renin-angiotensin causes recruitment of renin-producing cells in the kidney along the media layer of afferent arterioles and hypertrophy of cells in the juxtaglomerular apparatus. This study aimed to define the role of nitric oxide (NO) with regard to the recruitment pattern of renin-producing cells and to the possible pathways along which NO could act. We considered the hy...
