Biochem/physiol Actions

Nω-Propyl-L-arginine (NPA; NPLA; p-ARG; L-PNA) is a substrate-competitive, reversible, potent and selective neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS; bNOS) inhibitor (Ki = 57 nM/bovine nNOS, 8.5 μM/bovine eNOS, 180 μM/murine iNOS) widely used for probing nNOS-dependent physiological and pathological processes both in cultures and in animals in vivo.
Substrate-competitive, reversible, potent and selective neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS; bNOS) inhibitor with in vitro and in vivo efficacy.

Zinc ion (Zn2+), the second most abundant transition metal after iron in the body, is essential for neuronal activity and also induces toxicity if the concentration is abnormally high. Our previous results show that exposure of cultured cortical neurons to

Background: Heart failure (HF) is associated with reduced expression of plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase 4 (PMCA4). Cardiac-specific overexpression of human PMCA4b in mice inhibited nNOS activity and reduced cardiac hypertrophy by inhibiting calcineurin. Here we examine temporally regulated cardiac-specific overexpression of
