The effect of sodium nitrite on the intracellular NO and cyclic guanine monophosphate (cGMP) concentrations. (AC) Sodium nitrite in the culture medium resulted in mild increase of intracellular NO concentration after 24 (A), 48 (B) and 72 h (C) incubation. Addition of 2-4-carboxyphenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (cPTIO, 10 μM) in the culture medium scavenged NO and decreased intracellular NO concentration. (D) cGMP increased with the addition of sodium nitrite and addition of cPTIO blunted cGMP generation. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001.
