Nitric oxide is a free radical produced in host tissues by constitutive and inducible forms of the enzyme nitric oxide synthase. Nitric oxide plays physiological roles, but it is also involved in the pathophysiology of several inflammatory conditions, including arthritis

This study tested the hypothesis that nitric oxide (NO) synthesized from inducible NO synthase (iNOS) is responsible for the cardiac dysfunction observed after burn and smoke inhalation injury. Twelve sheep received 40% third-degree burn and smoke inhalation under halothane anesthesia.
Nitric oxide (NO) and peroxynitrite (OONO-) are implicated in the pathophysiology of renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the efficiency of S-methylisothiourea (SMT), an iNOS inhibitor, and mercaptoethylguanidine (MEG), a scavenger of peroxynitrite

In rodent models, enhanced formation of nitric oxide and formation of peroxynitrite have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various forms of shock. Here we examined the effect of mercaptoethylguanidine (MEG), an inducible nitric oxide synthase inhibitor and peroxynitrite scavenger

1. Peroxynitrite is a cytotoxic species that can be formed, among other mechanisms, by the rapid reaction of superoxide with nitric oxide. Peroxynitrite formation has been implicated in a wide range of neurodegenerative and chronic inflammatory diseases, as has the
