Correlation between nitric oxide formation during degradation of organic nitrates and activation of guanylate cyclase

TL;DR: The release of nitric oxide from organic nitrates is examined by means of a difference-spectrophotometric method and it is found that the results correlated well with the extent of enzyme activation, suggesting both an enzymatic and a non-enzymatic mode of inhibition of enzyme activity does exist.

Induction and potential biological relevance of a Ca2+‐independent nitric oxide synthase in the myocardium

TL;DR: It is possible that the enhanced production of NO by a Ca2+‐independent enzyme accounts, at least in part, for the depression of myocardial contractility seen in septic shock, cardiomyopathies, allograft rejection, burn trauma, as well as during anti‐tumour therapy with cytokines.

Nitric oxide metabolism and breakdown

TL;DR: Increasing knowledge on the complex metabolism of NO in vivo will lead to the development of new therapeutic strategies to enhance bioactivity of NO via modulation of its metabolism.

Nitrate synthesis in the germfree and conventional rat

TL;DR: Equivalent results for germfree and conventional rats eliminate the microflora as obligatory components of nitrate production, indicating that nitrate synthesis appears to be a mammalian process.

The reaction of hemoglobin with nitrite

TL;DR: Although nitrite has been extensively used as an agent for the formation of methemoglobin, the quantitative relations of the reaction appear to be uncertain; three widely different values have been reported for the amount of meethemoglobin formed to nitrite utilized.

Simple and sensitive procedure for determining nitrate and nitrite in mixtures in biological fluids.

TL;DR: The technic combines an adaptation of two published methods and obviates some drawbacks of the more popular colorimetric procedures to determine both nitrate and nitrite nitrogen in water, whole blood, milk, urine, and from aqueous plant extracts.
