Journal ArticleDOI

Signal transduction mechanisms involving nitric oxide

TL;DR: L'interaction entre l'oxyde nitrique (NO) and le groupement prosthetique de l'heme de la guanylate cyclase cytosolique est responsable du mecanisme de signal transduction qui provoque la biosynthese de GMP cyclique dans les cellules cibles suite a uen stimulus exterieur.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shear stress-induced release of nitric oxide from endothelial cells grown on beads.

TL;DR: Observations indicate that fluid shear stress causes the generation of EDRF with properties of nitric oxide from aortic endothelial cells and that the bioassay system described may be useful for studying the mechanism of mechanochemical coupling that leads to Nitric oxide generation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Free radical biology and medicine: it's a gas, man!

TL;DR: Gasses that can affect oxidative stress and that themselves may be radicals are reviewed, fearing that many of the gasses discussed in this review will induce transient adaptive responses in gene expression that enable cells and tissues to survive.
Journal ArticleDOI

Basal release of nitric oxide from aortic rings is greater in female rabbits than in male rabbits: implications for atherosclerosis

TL;DR: It is established that basal NO release from endothelium-intact aortic rings depends on circulating estradiol concentration and offers an explanation for the protective effect of estradio against the development of atherosclerosis.
Journal Article

Relaxation of bovine coronary artery and activation of coronary arterial guanylate cyclase by nitric oxide, nitroprusside and a carcinogenic nitrosoamine.

TL;DR: The findings that inhibitors of NO-induced relaxation of coronary artery also inhibit coronary arterial guanylate cyclase activation suggest that cyclic GMP formation may be associated with coronary arteria smooth muscle relaxation.
