  • Title: Nitric oxide from L-arginine stimulates the soluble guanylate cyclase in adrenal glands.
    Author: Palacios M, Knowles RG, Palmer RM, Moncada S.
    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 1989 Dec 15; 165(2):802-9. PubMed ID: 2480784.
    Abstract:
    The formation of nitric oxide (NO) by an L-arginine:NO synthase and its stimulation of the soluble guanylate cyclase was studied in rat whole adrenal and bovine cortex and medulla cytosol. In the presence of L-arginine, the stimulation of soluble guanylate cyclase was accompanied by the formation of citrulline and NO2-, formed from NO. The NO synthase was NADPH- and Ca(2+)-dependent and was inhibited by several L-arginine analogues. These results indicate that rat and bovine adrenal cytosol contains an L-arginine:NO synthase.
