Estrogens have been found to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease that has been
ascribed in part to an increased expression and/or activity of the vasoprotective endothelial …

1 In human epithelial‐like DLD‐1 cells, nitric oxide synthase (NOS) II expression was
induced by interferon‐γ (100 u ml −1 ) alone and, to a larger extent, by a cytokine mixture (CM) …

Cytokine stimulation of human DLD-1 cells resulted in a marked expression of nitric-oxide
synthase (NOS) II mRNA and protein accompanied by only a moderate increase in …

Incubation of human A549/8 cells with human interleukin-1 beta (50 units/ml), interferon-gamma
(100 units/ml), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (10 ng/ml) (cytomix) resulted in a marked …

In primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), incubation with phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate
(PMA) enhanced basal and bradykinin-stimulated nitric oxide production. …

Transcription factor NF-κB is essential for the induction of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) II (iNOS)
by bacterial lipopolysaccharide in murine macrophages (Xie, QW, Kashiwabara, Y., and …

Protein phosphorylation is involved in the induction of nitric oxide synthase II (NOS II, iNOS)
in several types of animal cells. Here we have investigated the possible involvement of …

Background: The superoxide-generating enzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate
(NADPH) oxidase (NOX2 or gp91phox, the phagocytic isoform) was reported as a major …

Background NOS2 expression is mostly found in bacteria-exposed or cytokine-treated tissues
and is mostly connected to innate immune reactions. There are three isoforms of NOS2 (…

The enzyme NOS2 produces nitric oxide, a signaling molecule involved in processes like
blood pressure regulation, immunity, and stem cell differentiation. NOS2 has three isoforms (…
