Nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated as a modulator of blood flow, motility, electrolyte and
water transport, and the function of endothelial cells, platelets, mast cells, and macrophages …

Nitric oxide (NO.) plays a central role in the physiology of the gastrointestinal tract and its
response to critical illness. Potential sources of NO. in the gut include: intrinsic intestinal …

Nitric oxide (NO) can exert both protective and proinflammatory actions in the
gastrointestinal tract. NO, formed physiologically by constitutive NO synthases, regulates …

Nitric oxide is an intracellular and intercellular messenger with important functions in a
number of physiologic and pathobiologic processes within gastroenterology and …

Nitric oxide (NO) synthesis is markedly augmented in states of inflammation, largely due to
the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Although NO has anti-inflammatory …

Inflammation of the intestinal tract remains a very serious concern in the clinical setting.
Unfortunately, to date, the mechanisms underlying many inflammatory conditions such as …

There is growing evidence that endogenous nitric oxide (NO) regulates mucosal barrier
integrity under physiological conditions and counters the increase in mucosal permeability …

The role of nitric oxide (NO) in inflammation represents one of the most studied yet
controversial subjects in physiology. A number of reports have demonstrated that NO …

Nitric oxide (NO) plays important roles in gastrointestinal mucosal defence, as well as in the
pathogenesis of several gastrointestinal diseases (eg irritable bowel syndrome and …

Nitric oxide is a gaseous free radical synthesized via L-arginine oxidation by a family of nitric
oxide syntheses (NOS). Isomeric forms of NOS, representing at least three distinct and …
