Data indicate that Stat3 is required for optimal function of the ETC, which may allow it to orchestrate responses to cellular homeostasis.
Release of reactive nitrogen intermediates and reactive oxygen intermediates from mouse peritoneal macrophages. Comparison of activating cytokines and evidence for independent production.
Testing as a sole agent, IFN-gamma was the only one of the 12 cytokines capable of inducing both NO2- and H2O2 release and the pathways leading to secretion of H2 O2 and No2- are independent.

This minireview updates the NO biosynthetic mechanism and describes a global catalytic model that highlights the role of NO as an intrinsic regulator.
Nitric oxide. A macrophage product responsible for cytostasis and respiratory inhibition in tumor target cells
A metabolic pathway of activated macrophages (M phi) involving oxidation of the guanido nitrogens of L-arginine is required for inhibition of growth and respiration of some target cells. The goal of…
Structure of nitric oxide synthase oxygenase dimer with pterin and substrate.
Crystal structures of the murine cytokine-inducible nitric oxide synthase oxygenase dimer with active-center water molecules, the substrate L-arginine (L-Arg), or product analog thiocitrulline reveal…

Gel filtration chromatography indicated that the induced NO synthase was catalytically competent as a dimer of approximately 250 kDa but could be dissociated into inactive monomers of approximately 130 kDa in the absence of L-arginine, FAD, and tetrahydrobiopterin.
