Summary: This study compares the effects of l-Arginine, sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS), and tricarbonyldichlororuthenium(II) dimer (CORM-2) on pain, anxiety, and depression. The results indicate that all three mediators exhibit certain analgesic, anxiolytic, and depression-like effects.

Cytoprotective gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 resolves major vessel occlusion disturbances, ischemia-reperfusion injury following Pringle maneuver, and Budd-Chiari syndrome

Predrag Sikiric et al.

Summary: The stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 has cytoprotective and membrane stabilizing properties, and can counteract various venous occlusion-induced syndromes. It maintains endothelium and epithelium stability, recruits collateral blood vessels to compensate for vessel occlusion, and controls VEGF and NO pathways.

Uncovering associations between mental illness diagnosis, nitric oxide synthase gene variation, and peripheral nitric oxide concentration

Rhiannon McNeill et al.

Summary: Nitric oxide (NO) signaling has been studied in relation to mental illnesses, but its specific contribution remains unclear. This study investigated the association between peripheral NO concentration, specific diagnoses, and genetic variation in NO synthase (NOS) genes. The results showed that patients with schizophrenia had significantly higher peripheral NO metabolite concentrations compared to other groups. Additionally, carriers of the NOS1 VNTR1 short allele had increased NO concentrations, which remained significant even at discharge. The data also suggested that patients with unresolved depressive symptoms had higher NO concentrations, with a positive correlation between symptom severity and NO concentration.

The possible role of nitric oxide signaling and NMDA receptors in allopurinol effect on maximal electroshock- and pentylenetetrazol-induced seizures in mice

Nastaran Rahimi et al.

Summary: Allopurinol, a medication used to lower uric acid levels, has been found effective in treating intractable epilepsy. Its exact mechanism is still unknown, but it is believed to target the NO pathway and NMDA receptors. This study evaluated the effects of allopurinol on seizure threshold, incidence, and mortality rates in mouse models.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate gut permeability in schizophrenia patients and its relationship with symptoms, medication, cognitive functions, and blood immune markers. The results showed that gut permeability was significantly higher in schizophrenia patients compared to healthy controls, and it may be associated with cognitive and cellular immunity functions.

Protein Kinase C-Gamma Knockout Mice Show Impaired Hippocampal Short-Term Memory While Preserved Long-Term Memory

Maria Gomis-Gonzalez et al.

Summary: The study revealed that PKC-gamma knockout mice exhibit severe impairment in hippocampal-dependent short-term memory performance while long-term memory tasks remain unaffected. This indicates that PKC-gamma plays a crucial role in memory processes, particularly in the formation of short-term memory and the differential involvement in short-term and long-term memory processes.

Andrea Zemba Cilic et al.

Summary: In the rat models, BPC 157 and L-arginine counteracted schizophrenia-like symptoms, while L-NAME was ineffective in some cases. Further studies are needed to determine the precise relationships between BPC 157, dopamine, glutamate, and the NO system for potential clinical applications.

Synergistic effect between quinpirole and L-NAME as well as sulpiride and L-arginine on the modulation of anxiety and memory processes in the 6-OHDA mouse model of Parkinson's disease: An isobologram analysis

Mohammad-Reza Zarrindast et al.

Summary: In PD mice, both dopamine D2 receptor and nitric oxide (NO) mechanisms have an impact on anxiety and memory. L-NAME reversed the anxiogenic and memory improvement effect induced by sulpiride. The anxiolytic and amnesic effects caused by quinpirole were reversed by L-arginine. There is a synergistic effect between dopamine D2 receptor and NO systems in modulating anxiety and memory.

D-Serine: A Cross Species Review of Safety

Amir Meftah et al.

Summary: D-Serine, a potential treatment for psychiatric and neurological conditions, has been limited in human studies due to concerns of nephrotoxicity observed in rats. However, D-serine induced nephrotoxicity has not been reported in other species and only one subject in human studies showed abnormal renal values, which resolved after stopping treatment. DAAO inhibitors may have nephroprotective effects.
