This study was designed to determine the role of nitric oxide in gallbladder (GB) contractions in men. The studies were performed in 10 young healthy male volunteers. GB emptying was examined by ultrasonography under basal conditions and after intravenous infusion of cholecystokinin (CCK8; 12.5 pm...
Nitric oxide (NO), is a ubiquitous, water soluble, free radical gas, which plays key role in various physiological as well as pathological processes. Over past decades, NO has emerged as a molecule of interest in carcinogenesis and tumor growth progressi
At the end of the 1980s, it was clearly demonstrated that cells produce nitric oxide and that this gaseous molecule is involved in the regulation of the cardiovascular, immune and nervous systems, rather than simply being a toxic pollutant. In the CNS, nitric oxide has an array of functions...
To investigate the production of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the fallopian tube (FT) during the menstrual cycle and whether epithelia from FTs bearing an ectopic pregnancy differ from healthy tubes in iNOS expression. Design Prospective study. Setting Academic unit of reproductive and ...
However, vascular endothelial cells (VECs) also play an essential role in the suppression of neointimal hyperplasia, and VEC-derived nitric oxide (NO) mediates this effect by inhibiting the phenotypic switching of VSMCs [24,25,26]. Numerous studies have revealed that GLP-1RAs exert their ...

NMDAr-induced Ca2+ currents activate neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), a Ca2+-Calmodulin (CaM) dependent enzyme that oxidizes L-arginine (L-Arg) into L-citrulline (L-Cit) and NO using oxygen and NADPH [3]. Due to its gaseous nature, it can freely diffuse to surrounding tissues and...
