Nitric oxide plays an important role in nearly every pathological condition from diabetes to hypertension, cancer to drug addiction, stroke to intestinal motility, memory and learning disorders to septic shock, sunburn to anorexia, and male impotence to tuberculosis. Within the last eight years a product of enzymatic synthesis in mammals has been developed. This unique sourcebook serves as a comprehensive reference, bridging the well-established chemistry of nitric oxide (NO) with the new and exciting role of NO as an effector molecule in numerous biological systems. Nitric Oxide: Principles and Actions relates the chemical properties of the molecule to its possible effects on biological systems, under both normal physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Combining the chemistry and analysis of NO with newer studies of the relevance of the molecule gives this book a long life, making it extremely useful to researchers in a number of areas. more...
