Nitrate tolerance impairs nitric oxide-mediated vasodilation in vivo.
OBJECTIVES Nitroglycerin (NTG) is metabolized to nitric oxide (NO) in vascular smooth muscle cells. It is currently not clear whether prolonged exposure to NTG and tolerance development directly affects endogenous NO-mediated vasodilation in vivo. This study investigates NO-mediated vasodilation in conscious chronically catheterized rats before and after development of nitrate tolerance. The ef...
متن کاملNitric oxide reductase gene expression and nitrous oxide production in nitrate-grown Pseudomonas mandelii.
Pure cultures of Pseudomonas mandelii were incubated with or without nitrate, which acts as a substrate and an electron acceptor for denitrification. Nitric oxide reductase (cnorB) gene expression was measured using a quantitative reverse transcription-PCR, and nitrous oxide emissions were measured by gas chromatography. P. mandelii cells in either the presence or absence of nitrate demonstrate...
متن کاملNitric reductase-dependent nitric oxide production is involved in cold acclimation and freezing tolerance in Arabidopsis.
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule involved in many physiological processes in plants. We evaluated the role of NO in cold acclimation and freezing tolerance using Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) wild type and mutants nia1nia2 (for nitrate reductase [NR]-defective double mutant) and Atnoa1/rif1 (for nitric oxide associated1/resistant to inhibition by fosmidomycin1) that exh...
متن کاملAnalysis of nitrate reductase mRNA expression and nitrate reductase activity in response to nitrogen supply
Nitrate is one of the major sources of nitrogen for the growth of plants. It is taken up by plant roots and transported to the leaves where it is reduced to nitrite in the. The main objective of this research was to investigate stimulatory effects of sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, ammonia and urea on the production/generation of the nitrate reductase mRNA in Triticum aestivum plants. The pl...
متن کاملDietary Nitrate, Nitric Oxide, and Cardiovascular Health.
Emerging evidence strongly suggests that dietary nitrate, derived in the diet primarily from vegetables, could contribute to cardiovascular health via effects on nitric oxide (NO) status. NO plays an essential role in cardiovascular health. It is produced via the classical L-arginine-NO-synthase pathway and the recently discovered enterosalivary nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway. The discovery of this...
