Endothelial production of nitric oxide (nitrogen monoxide, NO) has become a major research
area in vascular biology. Some of the most important effects that NO exerts in the vascular …

Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) plays a critical role in regulating and maintaining a
healthy cardiovascular system. The importance of eNOS can be emphasized from the …

Nitric oxide (NO) exerts important protective actions on the cardiovascular system.
Generated from L-arginine by the action of endothelial (or type 3) nitric oxide synthase …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a pivotal signaling messenger in the cardiovascular system. NO
participates in regulatory functions including control of hemostasis, fibrinolysis, platelet and …

N elucidated the function of nitric oxide as a cardiovascular autacoid, since it was disovered
to be an endothelium derived relaxing fact0r. Ij It is now possible to foresee the potential of …

Nitric oxide (NO) is generated from l-arginine by the family of isoenzymes called NO
synthases (NOS). Gene cloning has identified neuronal, endothelial and cytokine-inducible …

Fifteen years after its discovery, NO has fully reached an established position in physiology,
medicine and therapeutics. It is difficult to find a biological function or a pathological …

This review highlights a number of nitric oxide (NO)-related mechanisms that contribute to
coronary vascular function and that are likely affected by hypertension and thus become …

Vascular nitric oxide (NO) is involved in many physiologic and pathophysiologic processes
throughout the body. Many vascular diseases have a reduction in the activity of endothelium …

Endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) is a key determinant of blood pressure homeostasis
and platelet aggregation and is synthesized by the endothelial isoform of nitric oxide …
