چکیده

nitric oxide (no) is a molecule required for many physiological functions, produced from l-arginine by no synthases (nos). it is a free radical, producing many reactive intermediates that account for its bioactivity. sustained induction of the inducible form of nos (inos) in chronic inflammation may be mutagenic, through no-mediated dna damage or hindrance to dna repair, and thus potentially carcinogenic. due to the short half-life of no, usually its end products (nitrate or nitrite) are measured as an index of no production. there is evidence that expression of inos in tumor cells, including acute myeloid leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia increased. in this study, the levels of nitrate and nitrite (nitric oxide products) in the serum of patients with acute leukemia were determined. the serum levels of these compounds were measured in 40 acute leukemia patients. the results of serum nitrite and nitrate of patients were compared with corresponding values obtained in 40 healthy volunteers. these results indicate that patients with acute leukemia had a significant increase in the serum level of nitrite and nitrate.

Association of serum leptin level with obesity in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Background Obesity is a medical problem in survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Obesity is associated with many complications, so it is important to investigate the respective etiology. Leptin is a protein synthesized in the fatty tissue and is effective in the control of obesity. Survey of leptin in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) survivors could be helpful in controlling ob...

Increasing of serum nitric oxide metabolites in chicken Eimeria infection

In order to determine the involvement of nitric oxide in the pathogenesis of coccidiosis induced by Eimeria, 30 chickens were challenged with mixed sporulated oocysts of four species of Eimeria (E. acervulina, E. maxima, E. necatrix, and E. tenella) at 26 days of age. There was an increasing of oocyst shedding in the infected birds at 6, 10 and 14 days post-infection. Histopathological examinat...
