1. The interaction between nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide anions has received a great deal of attention. Because NO is rapidly inactivated by superoxide anions, it has been suggested that an enhanced formation of this radical may be involved in the accelerated breakdown of NO. 2. In the present study, we administrated glyburide (glibenclamide) to Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and determined the effect of such treatment on serum nitrite+nitrate levels. Serum nitrite+nitrate levels were reduced in diabetic animals (P<0.001). Administration of glyburide to diabetic rats reversed the diabetes-induced changes, suggesting that glyburide may directly increase serum nitrite+nitrate levels.

D009569 Nitric Oxide A free radical gas produced endogenously by a variety of mammalian cells, synthesized from ARGININE by NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE. Nitric oxide is one of the ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT RELAXING FACTORS released by the vascular endothelium and mediates VASODILATION. It also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. Nitric oxide activates cytosolic GUANYLATE CYCLASE and thus elevates intracellular levels of CYCLIC GMP.
