  1. 6. Macrophages, Nitric oxide synthases and Heme oxygenases: possible roles during peripheral nerve regeneration

    Författare :Sofia Magnusson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; satellite cells; peripheral ganglia; cell signalling; nerve regeneration; heme oxygenase; Macrophages; nitric oxide synthase; Animal physiology; Djurfysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this study was to investigate the suggestions that macrophages, and the systems generating nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO), i.e. nitric oxide synthases (NOS) and heme oxygenases (HO), could be important for peripheral nerve regeneration. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Inorganic and organic nitrates as sources of nitric oxide

    Författare :Mirco Govoni; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Inorganic nitrate (NO3-) and nitrite (NO2-) have generally been considered stable inactive end products of nitric oxide (NO) or unwanted residues in the food chain. While several recent studies surprisingly demonstrate that nitrite is reduced to bioactive NO in blood and tissues, the more stable anion nitrate is still considered to be inert. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Structural Plasticity and Function in Cytochrome cd1 Nitrite Reductase

    Författare :Tove Sjögren; Christian Cambillau; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; cytochrome cd1; nitrite reductase; oxidase; redox protein; electron transfer; proton transfer; X-ray crystallography; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Cytochrome cd1 nitrite reductase is a bifunctional enzyme, which catalyses the one-electron reduction of nitrite to nitric oxide, and the four-electron reduction of oxygen to water. The latter is a cytochrome oxidase reaction. Both reactions occur on the d1 haem iron of the enzyme. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Kinetics of proton and electron transfer in heme-copper oxidases

    Författare :Peter Lachmann; Pia Ädelroth; Örjan Hansson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Heme-copper oxidase; electron transfer; proton transfer; nitric oxide reductase; ba3 oxidase; flow-flash; laser-flash photolysis; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Heme-copper oxidases are transmembrane proteins that are found in aerobic and anaerobic respiratory chains. During aerobic respiration, these enzymes reduce dioxygen to water. The energy released in the reaction is used to transport protons across a biological membrane. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Diabetes-induced Alterations in Renal Microcirculation and Metabolism

    Författare :Fredrik Palm; Per Liss; Peter Hansell; Per-Ola Carlsson; Gerald DiBona; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology; diabetes mellitus; kidney; nephropathy; oxygen tension; haemodynamic; nitric oxide; oxygen consumption; radical oxygen species; polyol pathway; Fysiologi; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Diabetes-induced renal complications, i.e. diabetes nephropathy, are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The exact mechanism mediating the negative influence of hyperglycaemia on renal function is unclear, although several hypotheses have been postulated. LÄS MER
