Nitric oxide in neurodegenerative diseases.
Nitric oxide (NO) free radical as a major signaling molecule in nervous systems has been shown to have close relationship with neurodegenerative diseases. The results about the relation of NO and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD) and stroke in recent years are reviewed. Particularly, the results of antioxidants and NO in neurodegenerative dis...
متن کاملNitric oxide and infectious diseases.
Nitric oxide (NO) has undergone something of an image change in recent years. Previously considered a pollutant from car exhausts, NO has now been implicated in many physiological processes. Here we review the dual roles of NO in infection—as a critical agent of host defence but also as a central mediator of pathogenesis—using septic shock, bacterial meningitis, and malaria to illustrate some c...
متن کاملNitric oxide neurotoxicity in neurodegenerative diseases.
Nitric oxide (nitrogen monoxide; NO) is a simple molecule with diverse biological functions. NO and related reactive nitrogen oxide species (RNOS) mediate intricate physiological and pathophysiological effects in the central nervous system. Depending on environmental conditions, NO and RNOS can initiate and mediate neuroprotection or neurotoxicity either exclusively or synergistically with othe...
متن کاملRole of nitric oxide in liver regeneration.
The liver has a remarkable ability to regenerate in response to surgical removal or chemical insult. The mechanisms regulating regenerative processes are complex, and incompletely understood. A large number genes, which are not normally expressed in the quiescent liver, are activated. Immediately after partial hepatectomy (PH) (1-6 h), nitric oxide (NO) is synthesized by liver parenchymal and n...
متن کاملInducible nitric oxide synthase and inflammatory diseases.
Nitric oxide (NO) is a colorless gas at room temperature and one of the simplest molecules known, yet it has been implicated in a wide variety of regulatory mechanisms ranging from vasodilatation and blood pressure control to neurotransmission. It is also involved in nonspecific immunity and participates in the complex mechanism of tissue injury as a major mediator of inflammatory processes and...
