Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) generates NO in cells to regulate a vast variety of physiological functions. The bioactivity of NO is acutely terminated by its rapid oxidation to nitrite and nitrate.
If there’s a chemical with a cooler name than “fuming nitric acid,” we can’t think of it. Nearly pure nitric acid is useful stuff, especially if you’re in the business of making rocket ...
As many remember from high school chemistry class, nitric oxide is a gas naturally produced by the body that promotes blood vessel dilation and, in doing so, encourages blood flow. And while every ...
Here we show that HDL stimulates endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in cultured endothelial cells. In contrast, eNOS is not activated by purified forms of the major HDL apolipoproteins ApoA ...
