Regulation of haem oxygenase-1 nitrosative stress in cardiac cells

The reactive nitrogen species (RNS) nitric oxide (NO), nitroxyl anion (NO") and nitrosonium cation (NO+), modulate a myriad of biological processes. The microsomal haem oxygenases (HO-1, HO-2 and HO-3) oxidatively catabolise haem to bilirubin, carbon monoxide (CO) and ferrous iron (Fe2+). Sensi...
