AIM: Oxytocin was previously shown to have anti-inflammatory effects in different
inflammation models. The major objective of the present study was to evaluate the protective …

A planar-type amperometric dual microsensor for simultaneous detection of nitric oxide and
carbon monoxide is presented. The sensor consists of a dual platinum microdisk-based …

BACKGROUND: Nitric oxide (NO), synthesized from l-arginine by the enzyme NO synthase
(NOS) seems to play an ambiguous role during tissue ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. This …

This study was conducted to determine whether L-arginine (Arg) supplementation could
improve intestinal function in weaned pigs after an Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide …

A sensor exhibited high sensitivity and good selectivity for determination of nitric oxide (NO)
was fabricated. The sensor was constructured by coating Nafion/multi-walled carbon …

Availability of L-arginine, the exclusive substrate for nitric oxide synthases, plays an
important role in kidney ischemia/reperfusion injury. The endogenous L-arginine derivatives …

Nitric oxide generation from porcine kidney slices is assessed using a new planar NO-
selective amperometric sensor. The planar shape of the sensor allows for direct NO …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The clinical use of cisplatin (CP) is highly limited
because of its renal toxicity and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that …

Abstract Background/Aims: The decreased synthesis of nitric oxide (NO) during
ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) has been implicated as the major underlying mechanism for the …

Background. The aim of our study was to determine whether addition of the nitric oxide
donor l-arginine at reperfusion may prevent the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-induced …
