Improvement of Tissue Survival of Skin Flaps by 5α-Reductase Inhibitors: Possible Involvement of Nitric Oxide and Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase
Background: Skin flap grafting is a popular approach for reconstruction of critical skin and underlying soft tissue injuries. In a previous study, we demonstrated the beneficial effects of two 5α-reductase inhibitors, azelaic acid and finasteride, on tissue survival in a rat model of skin flap grafting. In the current study, we investigated the involvement of nitric oxide and inducible nitric o...

Elfering, S. L., V. L. Haynes, N. J. Traaseth, A. Ettl, and Cecilia Giulivi. Aspects, mechanism, and biological relevance of mitochondrial protein nitration sustained by mitochondrial nitric oxide synthase. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 286: H22–H29, 2004; 10.1152/ajpheart.00766.2003.—The goal of this study was to explore the occurrence of nitrated proteins in mitochondria given that these or...
متن کاملNitric oxide and the bioactivities
Nitric oxide (NO), previously known as Endothelium-Derived Relaxing Factor (EDRF) is involved in a wide range of physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms. It is synthesized endogenously by the enzymes Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) in specialized tissues from its precursor L-arginine, yielding L-citrulline as a byproduct. It is released by a family of isoenzymes, viz., the endothelial (eNOS...

متن کاملInhibition on inducible nitric oxide synthase.
The scientific community has witnessed an exponential growth curve in the number of nitric oxide (NO) related publications over the last ten years. This diatomic radical is remarkably entangled (directly and indirectly) in a multitude of physiological and pathophysiological processes, including blood pressure regulation, inflammation, apoptosis, platelet adhesion, neurotransmission and host-def...
