3 Nitric Oxide N O Colorless Gas Free Radical Potent Vasodilator (EDRF)

5 Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) Isoenzymes NOS Constitutive Inducible endothelial NOS (enos; NOS 3) neuronal NOS (nnos; NOS 1) inducible NOS (inos; NOS 2)

6 Nitric Oxide is a Pleiotropic Regulator of the Immune, Cardiovascular and Nervous Systems

10 NO Detection by Gas Phase Chemiluminescence Detection Principle: NO is purged from an aqueous solution using an innert gas such as Ar or He and transferred to a mixing chamber where it reacts with O 3 under reduced pressure. NO + O 3 NO 2 * + O 2 NO 2 * NO 2 + h. υ The light emitted by excited NO 2 upon returning to the ground state is measured by photon counting (fmol-pmol). Not very useful when attempting to quantify NO in physiological fluids such as serum, plasma or urine. Why?

14 Although Nitrite is Produced from NO Autoxidation, Nitrate is the Major NO-Derived Metabolite in Plasma and Urine: Role of Hemoglobin 2Hb-Fe +2 O 2 + 3NO H + 2Hb-Fe NO H2 O 4Hb-Fe +2 O 2 + 4NO H + 4Hb-Fe NO O2 + 2H 2 O Hb-Fe +2 O 2 + NO Hb-Fe +3 + NO 3 -

17 Measurement of NO 2- /NO 3- in Plasma Using the Griess Reagent: Problems and Considerations Heparin may produce precipitant upon addition of Griess Reagent. Addition of protamine sulfate will remove heparin (Suggestion: Use serum or calcium chelators such as EDTA or citrate). NO 2- /NO 3- may be underestimated in hemolyzed plasma or Serum due to Hb-catalyzed oxidation of NO 2- (Suggestion: Ultrafilterplasma or serum to obtain a low molecular weight fraction; < 15,000). The presence of some plasma or serum-associated proteins may inhibit nitrate reductase (Suggestion: Ultrafilter plasma or serum to obtain a low molecular weight fraction).

18 Simultaneous Quantification of Nitrite and Nitrate by HPLC Using the Griess Reaction Sensitivity: Rodriguez and Feelisch PNAS 100:336, nm NO nm NO 3-1 pmol/ml for either anion (injection volume 100µl) No interference by proteins or colored species

No cross-reactivity to NO 2- /NO 3- and ONOO - Kojima et al., Biol.Pharm. Bull.
