Biotransfornation of nitric oxide, nitrite and nitrate

Abstract

Biotransformation of NO, nitrite and nitrate was investigated in rats and mice in a 15NO inhalation experiment and intraperitoneal injection experiments of 15N-nitrite and 15N-nitrate, and the following results were obtained: (1) Rats were forced to inhale 15NO (145 ppm, 123 minutes) or were given an intraperitoneal injection of 15N-nitrite (2 mg animal-1 as 15N) or 15N-nitrate (2mg animal-1 as 15N), and determination of 15N recovery in urine was made up to 48 h later. The results were 55, 53 and 78% of the inhaled or injected 15N, respectively. (2) 15N-nitrate in the urine was converted into a 6-nitro derivative of 3,4-xylenol and its identification and quantitative determination were made by the GC-MS method. As to 15N-urea in the urine, identification and quantitative determination were made by the urease method. 15N was present in the urine of rats after 15NO inhalation in the form of NO3- and urea. 75 and 24% respectively. In the urine of rats injected with 15N-nitrite, about 20% of unidentified 15N-compounds not discovered in the inhalation experiment was found. The content of 15N-urea in the urine after injection with 15N-nitrate was lower than that after injection with 15N-nitrite. (3) When 15N-nitrite (0.617 mg animal-1 as 15N) was injected intraperitoneally in mice, 60.7, 7.8 and 0.3% of the injected 15N were found in the urine, feces and exhaled gas (NO, NO2 and NH3 in the gas were caught) up to 48 h after injection respectively, and 1.6% was found in the body 48 h after injection, but the remaining 30% of 15N could not be recovered.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • NO readily reacts with molecular oxygen through a single electron oxidation to HNO; further oxidation results in formation of nitrite, with the major pathway for NO metabolism being oxidation to nitrite and nitrate under normal physiological conditions.

    “NO readily reacts with molecular oxygen through a single electron oxidation to HNO. Further oxidation of this species results in the formation of nitrite (NO2−) with the major pathway for NO metabolism being oxidation to nitrite and nitrate under normal physiological conditions [67].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
