Abstract

Significance: Nitric oxide from endothelial cells is important for regulating cardiovascular function. Recent data suggest that red blood cells are a source for nitric oxide. We examined the function of red blood cell nitric oxide and the regulation of its formation by the enzyme arginase. We show that red blood cells contain arginase that inhibits nitric oxide export. The function was tested in a heart model subjected to ischemia. The recovery of heart function after ischemia was improved following inhibition of red blood cell arginase. This effect depended on the specific protein producing nitric oxide. The results demonstrate an important function by red blood cells in regulating heart function during ischemia via nitric oxide production under tight control by arginase.

  • Febuxostat's selectivity is partly due to a lack of structural resemblance with purines, which also reduces side effects of purine and pyrimidine metabolism.

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.
