Chemical compound and disease context of LOC396821

 

Biological context of LOC396821

  • Previously, we have shown that hypoxia results in increased generation of nitric oxide free radicals in the cerebral cortex of newborn piglets that may be due to up-regulation of nitric oxide synthases, neuronal nitric oxide synthase and inducible nitric oxide synthase [4].
  • RESULTS : During and after cardiac surgery, animals subjected to hypothermia exhibited lower expression of TNF-alpha and cyclo-oxygenase-2 but not of inducible nitric oxide synthase [7].

Associations of LOC396821 with chemical compounds

  • RESULTS: In all of seven specimens from children with increased levels of nitrate/nitrite in the urine, we detected antibodies to iNOS, whereas in five of six control specimens--that is, from children with normal nitrate/nitrite levels--we could not detect any iNOS [2].
  • Nitric oxide is produced from the amino acid L-arginine by nitric oxide synthase, which has three known isoforms: (1) endothelial nitric oxide synthase and (2) brain nitric oxide synthase, both of which are constitutive nitric oxide synthase; and (3) inducible nitric oxide synthase [3].
  • To clarify the role of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the relaxation of nasal vasculature, the effects of a potent selective iNOS inhibitor, N-[(3-aminomethyl)benzyl]acetamidine (1400W), on histamine- and leukotriene D4 (LTD4)-induced relaxations of isolated nasal septal mucosae were examined in naive guinea pigs [8].
  • Despite differing effects on neutrophilia, these findings clearly indicate that neither DEX nor iNOS inhibition had any direct effect on LPS-induced cough hyporesponsiveness [9].
  • Analysis included two housekeeping genes, GAPDH and 18S, as well as three mediators of the glutamate pathway, glutamate aspartate transporter, glutamate synthetase, and inducible nitric oxide synthase [10].
