Azide and hydroxylamine release nitric oxide (NO) enzymatically in biological conditions. We observed that both compounds were able to inhibit in vitro the programmed cell death of human eosinophils from peripheral blood. This protective effect could be mimicked by permeable cGMP analogs and by the
Although nitric oxide (NO) participates in development of hypersensitivity states in the spinal cord thought to underlie chronic pain, it also participates in analgesia produced by various drugs. In rats with a hypersensitivity state following peripheral nerve injury, spinal administration of an NO
This study evaluated how YC-1, a guanylate cyclase activator, affects the maturation of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells. Maturation markers and intracellular signaling pathways were evaluated. YC-1 inhibited the lipopolysaccharide up-regulation of mature markers, including CD40, CD80 or CD86
Previous studies have described the antispasmodic effect of mangiferin, a natural glucoside xanthone (2-C-β-Dgluco-pyranosyl-1,3,6,7-tetrahydroxyxanthone) that is present in mango trees and other plants, but its mechanism of action remains unknown. The aim of this study was to examine the potential
