2. Biological functions of nitric oxide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_functions_of...

   Nitric oxide (nitrogen monoxide) is a molecule and chemical compound with chemical formula of N O. In mammals including humans, nitric oxide is a signaling molecule involved in several physiological and pathological processes. [ 1 ] It is a powerful vasodilator with a half-life of a few seconds in the blood.

3. Nitric oxide synthase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitric_oxide_synthase

   Nitric oxide synthases (EC 1.14.13.39) (NOSs) are a family of enzymes catalyzing the production of nitric oxide (NO) from L-arginine. NO is an important cellular signaling molecule. It helps modulate vascular tone , insulin secretion, airway tone, and peristalsis , and is involved in angiogenesis and neural development.

4. Nitric oxide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitric_oxide

   Nitric oxide (nitrogen oxide or nitrogen monoxide[ 1 ]) is a colorless gas with the formula NO. It is one of the principal oxides of nitrogen. Nitric oxide is a free radical: it has an unpaired electron, which is sometimes denoted by a dot in its chemical formula (• N=O or • NO).

   Diabetes. The muscarinic M 3 receptor regulates insulin secretion from the pancreas [7] and are an important target for understanding the mechanisms of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Some antipsychotic drugs that are prescribed to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (such as olanzapine and clozapine) have a high risk of diabetes side-effects.

7. Endothelial dysfunction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endothelial_dysfunction

   Endothelial dysfunction is commonly associated with decreased NO bioavailability, which is due to impaired NO production by the endothelium or inactivation of NO by reactive oxygen species. [ 10 ][ 15 ] As a co-factor for nitric oxide synthase, tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) supplementation has shown beneficial results for the treatment of ...
