NO in the Gastrointestinal Tract

Nitric oxide (NO) plays important roles in gastrointestinal mucosal defence, as well as in the pathogenesis of several gastrointestinal diseases (e.g. irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease). The potent cytoprotective effects of NO have been...

NO Role In Immunity

Nitric Oxide (NO), a lipophilic gas synthesised by the enzyme Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) from the substrate arginine, is an important biomolecule that mediates cellular signaling. It has a wide spectrum of biological functions including immunomodulation,...

NO and the Immune Response

During the past two decades, nitric oxide (NO) has been recognized as one of the most versatile players in the immune system. It is involved in the pathogenesis and control of infectious diseases, tumors, autoimmune processes and chronic degenerative diseases. Read...

NO Effects during Giardiasis

Nitric oxide (NO) is a free radical synthesized from L-arginine by different isoforms NO-synthases. NO possesses multiple and complex biological functions. NO is an important mediator of homeostasis, and changes in its generation or actions can contribute or not to...

Reemergence of NO and cancer

Nitric Oxide (NO), a lipophilic gas synthesised by the enzyme Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) from the substrate arginine, is an important biomolecule that mediates cellular signaling. It has a wide spectrum of biological functions including immunomodulation,...
