Is Nitric Oxide a Hormone?
Nitric oxide (NO) is a simple ubiquitous signaling molecule and plays important roles in almost every biological system. Recent evidences suggest that NO may act as an endocrine molecule. The aim of this review is considering available literature on endocrine roles of NO and/or its metabolites, i.e. nitrite and nitrate. Existing data suggest the idea that NO is a hormone that after production i...
متن کاملNitric oxide as a surgical adjuvant
Advances in surgical technology have allowed for previously unconsidered therapeutic interventions. However, the complexity and invasiveness of surgical procedures are not without adverse consequences. Nitric oxide's fundamental role in a host of physiological processes, including angiogenesis, wound and bone healing, thromboresistance, smooth muscle relaxation and inflammation makes it a signi...
متن کاملA calcium-induced calcium influx factor, nitric oxide, modulates the refilling of calcium stores in astrocytes.
The roles of nitric oxide are primarily undefined in astrocytes, cells that are active partners in synaptic transmission. Because nitric oxide synthases are present in astrocytes, we imaged the formation of nitric oxide in cultured murine cortical astrocytes using DAF-FM (4-amino-5-methylamino-2',7'-difluorofluorescein diacetate). We demonstrated that physiological concentrations of ATP induced...
متن کاملNitric oxide-induced calcium release: activation of type 1 ryanodine receptor by endogenous nitric oxide.
Ryanodine receptors (RyRs), located in the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum (SR/ER) membrane, are required for intracellular Ca2+ release that is involved in a wide range of cellular functions. In addition to Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release in cardiac cells and voltage-induced Ca2+ release in skeletal muscle cells, we recently identified another mode of intracellular Ca2+ mobilization mediated by R...
متن کاملCalcium Oxide as a Root Filling
Calcium oxide, available for decades as a root canal filling material, has been little used in recent years due to its lack of radioopacity, and an expectation that it would lead to an excess of root fractures. In this study, four general dentists submitted 79 cases of endodontically treated teeth whose roots were filled with either Biocalex 6/9, or Endocal-10, and rendered adequately radio-opa...
