“The NOS inhibitor, L-NAME , inhibited the increase in the generation of superoxide, NT and NOx, but aggravated LV function and increased infarct size in the diabetic heart.”
“Tissues from pregnant rats treated with l-NAME , endotoxin at 10 &mgr;g/kg, and a combination of l-NAME and endotoxin had increased 3-nitrotyrosine immunoreactivity.”
“Both nitrotyrosine accumulation and radical formation were reduced by inhibition of nitric oxide synthase with N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester , but not with the inactive D-isomer.”
“Most importantly, N(ω)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor) decreased protein levels of nitrotyrosine and concomitantly increased expression of membrane-bound fractalkine after exposure to SP.”
