A novel genetically encoded indicator for deciphering cytosolic and mitochondrial nitric oxide in live cells.

Nitric oxide (NO) has been highlighted as a key gaseous signaling molecule in the body, playing a central role in various physiological and pathological processes. However, a comprehensive analysis of NO metabolism dynamics in living cells remains a significant challenge. To address this, we have developed and characterized a novel genetically encoded NO fluorescence sensor, GefiNO, to investigate NO metabolism dynamics in living cells and subcellular organelles.

An understanding of intracellular mechanisms by which fentanyl and other synthetic opioids exert adverse effects on breathing is needed. Using freely moving adult male guinea pigs, we administered the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, L-NAME (N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester), to determine whether nitrosyl factors, such as nitric oxide and S-nitrosothiols, play a role in fentanyl-induced respiratory depression. Ventilatory parameters were recorded by whole body plethysmography to determine the effects of fentanyl (75 μg/kg, IV) in guinea pigs that had received a prior injection of vehicle (saline), L-NAME or the inactive D-isomer, D-NAME (both at 50 μmol/kg, IV), 15 min beforehand.

Nitro-fatty acids modulate germination onset through S-nitrosothiol metabolism.

-Nitro-fatty acids (NO2-FAs) have emerged as key components of nitric oxide (NO) signalling in eukaryotes. We previously described how nitro-linolenic acid (NO2-Ln), the major NO2-FA detected in plants, regulates S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) levels in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain undefined.

Background: Quercetin (QCT) and citrulline (CIT) have been independently associated with improved antioxidant capacity and nitric oxide (NO) production, potentially enhancing cardiovascular function and exercise performance. This study aimed to evaluate the combined and independent effects of QCT and CIT supplementation on NO metabolites and antioxidant biomarkers in 50 trained cyclists undergoing a 20 km cycling time trial (TT).

Methods: In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design, forty-two male and eight female trained cyclists were assigned to QCT + CIT, QCT, CIT, or placebo (PL) groups.

Sustainable Skincare Innovation: Cork Powder Extracts as Active Ingredients for Skin Aging.

Pharmaceuticals (Basel)

January 2025

UCIBIO-Applied Molecular Biosciences Unit, Department of Drug Sciences, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Porto, R. Jorge Viterbo Ferreira 228, 4050-313 Porto, Portugal.

: An emerging practice within the concept of circular beauty involves the upcycling of agro-industrial by-products. Cork processing, for instance, yields by-products like cork powder, which presents an opportunity to create value-added cosmetic ingredients. Building upon our previous research, demonstrating the antioxidant potential of hydroalcoholic extracts derived from two distinct cork powders (P0 and P1), in this work, aqueous extracts were prepared and analyzed.
