Abstract: Earlier studies on isolated arteries demonstrated that the para-quinone thymoquinone, like acute hypoxia, induces augmentation of contractions, depending on biased activity of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC), generating inosine-3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic IMP) rather than guanosine-3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate… read more here.
