| Abstract | 1. The effects of 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ), an inhibitor of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC), were investigated in aortic rings and ventricular cardiomyocytes from rats. The production of cyclic GMP was stimulated by NO.-donors or carbachol. Additionally, the effects of ODQ were studied in cytosolic extracts from both tissues in which the cyclic GMP production was stimulated by S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP). 2. In endothelium-intact aortic rings, SNAP (100 microM), 2,2'-(hydroxynitrosohydrazino)bis-ethana-mine (DETA NONOate; 100 microM), or carbachol (10 microM) increased cyclic GMP levels about 4 fold. These effects were abolished by ODQ (50 microM). 3. In cardiomyocytes, SNAP (100 microM), DETA NONOate (100 microM), or carbachol (10 microM) increased cyclic GMP levels about 2 fold. These effects were not affected by ODQ (50 microM). 4. In cytosolic extracts from aortic rings and cardiomyocytes, SNAP (100 microM) induced about 50 fold increases in cyclic GMP levels. ODQ (50 microM) reduced these effects by about 50%. 5. In extracts from cardiomyocytes, increases by SNAP (100 microM) of cyclic GMP levels were attenuated by myoglobin dependent on concentration: at 300 microM myoglobin, SNAP (100 microM) increased cyclic GMP levels only 3 fold. Inhibitory effects of ODQ (50 microM) were abolished by 300 microM myoglobin. 6. It is suggested that both NO. and ODQ can bind to myoglobin which, at high concentrations. can diminish their effects on sGC. Such a scavenger function of myoglobin could explain why NO. and ODQ exert only minor effects in cardiomyocytes (with high myoglobin content) but strong effects in aortic tissue (virtually devoid of myoglobin). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
