Cardiovascular diseases and the significance of nitric oxide
Author(s): Andrea Watson*
Nitric Oxide (NO), commonly known as nitrogen monoxide, is a colorless, poisonous gas created when nitrogen is oxidised. And it has a number of uses in medicine and plays a significant role in chemical signaling in both humans and other animals. The cellular messenger Nitric oxide (NO) is produced by three different isoforms of Nitric Oxide Synthases (NOS), including neuronal (nNOS), inducible (iNOS), and endothelial NOS (eNOS). The prevention of the development and progression of cardiovascular disease is significantly aided by NO. Hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, and diabetes are only a few of the illnesses that cardiovascular disease is linked to. Most cardiovascular disorders have atherosclerosis as their underlying pathology, which is linked to endothelial dysfunction. NO plays a number of cardio protective activities, including controlling blood pressure and vascular tone, pr.. Read More»
