Figure 1 Cellular effects of nitric oxide (NO) depend on its concentration, site of release and duration of action. Abbreviations are: NOS, nitric oxide synthase; ROI, reactive oxygen intermediates; GC, guanylate cyclase.

Figure 2 Evolution of our understanding of the involvement of NO and sites of its generation on renal injury. (A) Effects limited to the isolated epithelial cells. (B) The role of peroxynitrite and its potential sources in epithelial cell injury. (C) Involvement of eNOS and NO bioavailability in the subsequent development of injury to the proximal epithelial cells. Abbreviations are: NO, nitric oxide, iNOS, inducible nitric oxide synthase; eNOS, endothelial nitric oxide synthase; L-NAME, N-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester; AS-ODN, antisense oligodeoxynucleotide; MPO, myeloperoxidase.
