Regulation of cytokine/lipopolysaccharide stimulated nitric oxide production in cultures of rat and human proximal tubular cells and murine macrophage cell lines by the natriuretic peptides
High concentrations of nitric oxide (NO), produced by the inducible form of nitric oxide synthase, expressed by proximal tubular (PT) cells and invading macrophages, may damage the PT during inflammatory renal disease. The natriuretic peptide hormones (NPs) regulate inducible NO production in a vari...
