Publisher Summary Nitric Oxide (NO) has clearly revolutionized research about aspects of
neurotransmission and neuronal signaling. It has also radically altered studies about how …

Publisher Summary A variety of mechanisms have been proposed for NO neurotoxicity,
including inhibition of mitochondrial enzymes such as cis-aconitase, inhibition of the …

Nitric oxide (NO) has only recently been appreciated as a normal biologic substance with a
role in signal transduction. It was first identified as endothe lial-derived relaxing factor in …

Nitric oxide (NO) has revolutionized our conceptions about neurotransmission. NO is not
stored in synaptic vesicles, is not released by exocytosis, and does not mediate its action by …

Nitric oxide (NO) is produced by three distinct isoforms of nitric oxide synthases in the central
nervous system. Here, the roles of nitric oxide in the central nervous system are reviewed …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a molecule with pleiotropic effects in different tissues. NO is synthesized
by NO synthases (NOS), a family with four major types: endothelial, neuronal, inducible and …

The important role played by nitric oxide (NO) in the central nervous system has largely
been emphasized in the recent literature. It can originate at least from four different sources …

The gas nitric oxide (NO) has burst upon neuroscience only recently, and yet it has
permeated into almost every avenue of current research. The unique properties of this novel …

In the past 2 years powerful evidence has emerged to suggest that nitric oxide functions as a
neurotransmitter in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Recent evidence …

Whether nitric oxide is cytodestructive or cytoprotective is of obvious clinical importance. The
debate on this subject in the past decade has generated much “heat and light”. This paper …
