Nitric oxide as a mediator of nonadrenergic noncholinergic neurotransmission.
Part of the regulation of gastrointestinal (GI) smooth muscles is provided by nonadrenergic noncholinergic (NANC) nerves. Stimulation of these nerves, either by field stimulation or via neural reflex pathways, elicits hyperpolarization of postjunctional smooth muscle membranes referred to as inhibitory junction potentials and relaxation. The transmitter(s) that mediate NANC inhibitory neural tr...
متن کاملNitric oxide as a mediator of delayed pharmacological (A receptor
Background: Nitric oxide (NO), synthesised from the inducible isoform of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), is implicated in mediating second window of protection (SWOP)/delayed ischemic preconditioning. However the role of NO and iNOS in delayed pharmacological protection remains unclear and is the subject of this investigation. Methods: To test the hypothesis that iNOS is necessary for delayed 6 p...

متن کاملNitric Oxide Overproduction in Tomato shr Mutant Shifts Metabolic Profiles and Suppresses Fruit Growth and Ripening
Nitric oxide (NO) plays a pivotal role in growth and disease resistance in plants. It also acts as a secondary messenger in signaling pathways for several plant hormones. Despite its clear role in regulating plant development, its role in fruit development is not known. In an earlier study, we described a short root (shr) mutant of tomato, whose phenotype results from hyperaccumulation of NO. T...
متن کاملNitric oxide as a mediator of parasympathetic vasodilation in ocular and extraocular tissues in the rabbit.
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate in rabbits the relationship between nitric oxide and the noncholinergic vasodilation caused by facial nerve stimulation in the eye and some extraocular tissues. METHODS Uveal vascular resistance was determined by measuring simultaneously the flow from a cannulated vortex vein with intraocular pressure and arterial blood pressure recordings. The...
