Application

L-N6-(1-Iminoethyl)lysine dihydrochloride has been used as an inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) inhibitor:
  • to study its effects on leptin-induced modulation of fibronectin type III domain-containing five (FNDC5)/irisin in myocytes and fat cells of murine
  • to study its effects on leptin-induced inflammation in hepatocytes
  • to block the production of nitric oxide in mice bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Selective inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS).

L-N6-(1-Iminoethyl)lysine (L-NIL) has been synthesized and is shown to be both a potent and selective inhibitor of mouse inducible nitric oxide synthase (miNOS). L-NIL has an IC50 of 3.3 microM for miNOS compared to an IC50 of 92 microM for

iNOS deficiency in ob/ob mice improved liver inflammation and ECM remodeling-related genes, decreasing fibrosis, and metabolic dysfunction. The activation of iNOS by leptin is necessary for the synthesis and secretion of TNC in hepatocytes, suggesting an important role of this

Immunity, 49(4), 654-665 (2018-09-30)
Recruitment of immune cells with antimicrobial activities is essential to fight local infections but has the potential to trigger immunopathology. Whether the immune system has the ability to sense inflammation intensity and self-adjust accordingly to limit tissue damage remains to be

BACKGROUND/OBJETIVES: Obese leptin-deficient ob/ob mice exhibit high adiposity and reduced muscle mass with leptin replacement promoting weight loss and inducing muscle accretion through PGC-1α-dependent mechanisms. Our aim was to analyze in vivo and in vitro the effect of leptin on

A disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 12 (ADAM12) belongs to the ADAM family of transmembrane proteins. Via proteolysis, cell adhesion, cell-cell fusion, cell-matrix interaction and membrane protein shedding, ADAM proteins are involved in normal brain development, and also in cancer
