Nitrate levels in our water resources have increased in many areas of the world largely due
to applications of inorganic fertilizer and animal manure in agricultural areas. The regulatory …

Nitric oxide (NO) was first recognized as a messenger molecule in the central nervous
system (eNS) in 1988 (52), when it was identified as the unstable intercellular factor that had …

Following its benchmark discovery, nitric oxide (NO) is now known to play important
functional roles in a variety of physiological systems. Within the vasculature, NO induces …

Nitrate is a natural constituent of the human diet and an approved food additive. It can be
partially converted to nitrogen monoxide, which induces vasodilation and thereby decreases …

NO was first characterized in the CNS as the intercellular messenger mediating the increase
in cyclic GMP levels that follows activation of glutamate receptors (Garthwaite et al., 1988) …

The secretion of growth hormone (GH) is regulated through a complex neuroendocrine
control system, especially by the functional interplay of two hypothalamic hypophysiotropic …

Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) exists in three established isoforms. NOS I (NOS1, ncNOS) was
originally discovered in neurons. This enzyme and splice variants thereof have since been …

Living organisms represent, in essence, dynamic interactions of high complexity between
membrane‐separated compartments that cannot exist on their own, but reach behaviour in …
