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
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
Burns : journal of the International Society for Burn Injuries, 27(8), 809-815 (2001-11-24)
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.

Doxorubicin (DOX) and Trastuzumab (TRAST) are effective agents for the treatment of many neoplastic diseases. Cardiotoxicity is a major side effect of these drugs and limit their use. In this study, the possible protective effects of melatonin (MEL), mercaptoethylguanidine (MEG)
We investigated the early events involved in loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsi(mt)) leading to apoptosis in cells derived from patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia after exposure to phenolic antioxidants. Using the nitric oxide binding dye diaminofluorescein-FM diacetate, we found
