Aorta HO-2 histological scores (HSCORE) of hypertensive rats were lower, while SBP was higher. Swimming caused enhancement of HO-2 immunostaining in aorta endothelium and adventitia of SHR. Exercise induced elevation of blood COHb index in SHR. Synchronous BP lowering effect of exercise was observed.

This experiments shown here indicate that HO-2 and HO-1 are differentially regulated across sexual experience and that the two CO-producing enzymes are expressed in distinct but overlapping populations of cells in medial preoptic area.

HO mRNA levels display isoform-specific changes: those of HO-2 do not change appreciably, whereas those of HO-1 increase significantly in 2-h endotoxemia, with or without obstructive jaundice.

Heme oxyenase-1 and -2 in the nephron inhibit tubuloglomerular feedback by releasing CO and biliverdin. CO's inhibitory effect is mediated by the soluble-guanylate-cyclase/cGMP signaling pathway, whereas biliverdin probably acts by reducing O2-.

The expression and distribution of NADPH-d and HO-2 suggest that carbon monoxide and nitric oxide are likely neurotransmitters and might function in the processing orofacial signal in the spinal trigeminal nucleus together.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
