A heme-degradation pathway in a blood-sucking insect.
Hematophagous insects are vectors of diseases that affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide. A common physiological event in the life of these insects is the hydrolysis of host hemoglobin in the digestive tract, leading to a massive release of heme, a known prooxidant molecule. Diverse organisms, from bacteria to plants, express the enzyme heme oxygenase, which catalyzes the oxidative de...

متن کاملNitric oxide loading of the salivary nitric-oxide-carrying hemoproteins (nitrophorins) in the blood-sucking bug Rhodnius prolixus.
The salivary glands of the blood-sucking bug Rhodnius prolixus are formed by a single layer of binucleated epithelial cells surrounded by a double layer of transversely oriented smooth muscle cells. The epithelial cells are rich in rough endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria and have abundant microvillar projections towards the gland lumen. This cell layer surrounds a relatively large cavity w...
متن کاملSuperoxide contributes to development of salt sensitivity and hypertension induced by nitric oxide deficiency.
This study was performed to examine the role of superoxide (O2-) in the development of salt sensitivity and hypertension induced by inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) generation. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with diet containing either normal salt (NS) (0.4% NaCl) or high salt (HS) (4% NaCl). These rats were treated with or without an NO synthase inhibitor, nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAM...
