NO message from muscle

Abstract: The synthesis of the free radical gas nitric oxide (NO) is catalyzed by the enzyme NO synthase (NOS). NOS converts arginine and molecular oxygen to NO and citrulline in a reaction that requires NADPH, FAD, FMN, and tetrahydrobiopterin as cofactors. Three types of NOS have been identified by molecular cloning. The activity of the constitutively expressed neuronal NOS (nNOS) and endothelial NOS (eNOS) is Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent, whereas that the inducible NOS (iNOS) is Ca(2+)-insensitive. The predominant NOS… Show more

“…Following contraction, skeletal muscle fibers appear to release significant amounts of superoxide anion together with nitric oxide into the external medium (56,57,76,77). However, in skinned muscle fibers, exogenous H 2 O 2 stimulates contractions induced by caffeine but not by action potentials (78).…”

“…The best-known effect of NO on skeletal muscle metabolism is its capacity to inhibit mitochondrial respiration directly by interfering with electron transport chain complexes in several ways; (1) NO inhibits cytochrome c oxidase activity by competing with O 2 , (2) NO inhibits electron transfer between cytochrome b and c (both belonging to Complex III) and increases mitochondrial production of O 2 N 2 , and (3) NO inhibits electron transfer and NADH-dehydrogenase function at the level of Complex I (Grozdanovic, 2001;Sarti et al, 2012a).…”

“…Much previous work has examined the possibility that ROS are mediators of contraction-induced damage to skeletal muscle (see Reznick et al 1998 (a) Roles of NO in skeletal muscle NO within, and released from, skeletal muscle cells has a number of general functions (Grozdanovic 2001). The functions of many cellular proteins are modified by NO, including soluble guanyl cyclase and mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes.…”
