iNOS Cancer Research Results

iNOS, Inducible nitric oxide synthase: Click to Expand ⟱
Source: HalifaxProj(block)
Type:
An enzyme that produces nitric oxide (NO) in response to inflammatory stimuli.
iNOS can promote tumor growth by enhancing blood flow and nutrient supply to tumors through vasodilation. It may also help cancer cells evade apoptosis (programmed cell death).
Immune Activation: In some contexts, NO produced by iNOS can enhance the immune response against tumors, promoting the activation of immune cells that can target and destroy cancer cells.
Inhibition of Tumor Growth: High levels of NO can induce cytotoxic effects on tumor cells, leading to reduced proliferation and increased apoptosis.
BPH, Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Click to Expand ⟱
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that commonly occurs in older men.
- Increased DHT levels in prostatic tissue are associated with hyperplasia.
- An imbalance in IGF signaling might contribute to abnormal growth.
- Targeted therapies (such as 5α-reductase inhibitors and α-blockers).
