Abstract excerpt
Nuclear factor kappa B (NFkappaB), commonly a proinflammatory transcription factor, is responsible for increasing transcription of the endothelial cell nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in response to laminar shear stress. Nitric oxide (NO) production can be stimulated by shear, and NO is known to inhibit NFkappaB activation. We hypothesized that this inhibitory action of NO on NFkappaB activation serves as a negative...
