Le monoxyde d’azote(NO) est produit, à partir de L-arginine, par une famille d’enzymes, les NO synthases(NOS). Elles sont, soit constitutives comme les NOS endothéliales(eNOS) et neuronales(nNOS), soit inductibles(NOSi), synthétisées uniquement après stimulation par les cytokines. 1, record 1, French, - NOS%20neuronale

The inducible isoform of NOS (iNOS) is expressed in response to immunological stimuli in macrophages and in a number of other cells and produce a large number of NO which can act as a cytostatic and cytotoxic molecule. 1, record 2, English, - inducible%20NO

Inducible NO-synthase in skeletal muscle. The expression and localization of inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS II) was evaluated as a source of NO which has been shown to affect muscle contraction. Advanced stages of chronic heart failure are associated with systemic activation of cytokines which have been shown to stimulate the expression of NOS II in various cell types, including myocytes. We hypothesized that systemic cytokine activation could lead to expression of NOS II in skeletal muscle of patients with chronic heart failure. 2, record 3, English, - NO%20synthase
