Answer» What is Reactive Nitrogen Species mean? Reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are a family of antimicrobial molecules derived from nitric oxide (•NO) and superoxide (O2•−) produced via the enzymatic activity of inducible nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2) and NADPH oxidase respectively. NOS2 is expressed primarily in macrophages after induction by cytokines and microbial products, notably interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Reactive nitrogen species act together with reactive oxygen species (ROS) to damage cells, causing nitrosative stress. Therefore, these two species are often collectively referred to as ROS/RNS. Reactive nitrogen species are also continuously produced in plants as by-products of aerobic metabolism or in response to stress. reference | Full Form | Category | | Research Need Statements | Academic & Science | | Research Needs Statements | Academic & Science | | Numismatic Society | Academic & Science | | Real Number System | Academic & Science | | Rennes | Airport Code | | Regulatory News Service | Business | | Public Steers Trust | Business | | Renaissance Minerals Limited | Business | | Reactive Nitrogen Species | Chemistry | | Religion News Service | Community | | Rothesay Netherwood School | Community | | Rambler News Service | Community | | Regulatory News Services | Community | | Root Name Server | Computing | | Resource Name System | Computing | | Restarting Name Server | Computing | | Remote Name Server | Computing | | Region Name Server | Computing | | Remote Node Service | Computing | | Reporting and Notification Service | Computing | | Real Network Solutions | Computing | | Remote Network Server | Computing | | Radio Network Server | Computing | | Reliable Network Server | Computing | | Research Networking Software | Computing | | Renault Nissan Slovenija | General | | Raymarine Navigation System | General | | Royal Numismatic Society | General | | Rallye Navigation Solutions | General | | R Nosson Slifkin | General | | R N Shetty | General | | Rhythm N Strategy | General | | Radio Navigation System | General | | Rental Network Services | General | | Really Neat Stuff | General | | Repetitive Nerve Stimulation | General | | Resource Namespace Service | General | | Radio Network Subsystems | General | | Renal Nerve Stimulation | General | | Ramond Neveu Schwarz | General | | Radar Navigation Set | General | | Remote Network Station | General | | Residue Number System | General | | Reference Normal Serum | General | | Rhythmical Neuromuscular Stimulation | General | | Radio Network Subsystem | General | | Responsive Neuro Stimulator | General | | RIF Name Service | General | | Rap Non Stop | General | | Reporting and Network Services | General | | Roc Non Stop | General | | Real Noob Squad | General | | Relate Norfolk and Suffolk | General | | Road Network System | General | | Road Network Strategy | General | | Russian Neuroscience Society | International | | Rheumatology Nurses Society | Medical | | Registered Nurses | Medical | | Remote Network Support | Networking | | Rennes, France | Regional | | Regional News Service | Regional | | Ranking Not Starting | Sports | |
