2. Biological functions of nitric oxide - Wikipedia

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

   Nitric oxide is a cell signaling molecule produced by many cells of the body, and growing evidence suggests that the biological actions of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) may, in part, be mediated through its ability to regulate the production and/or release of nitric oxide. [82]

   Some research shows that L-arginine, found in nitric oxide supplements, could improve fitness performance for runners, cyclists, and swimmers. But, other research has shown little to no effect ...

4. Nitric oxide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitric_oxide

   Infobox references. 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).

5. 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.

6. Reactive oxygen species - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_oxygen_species

   In chemistry and biology, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive chemicals formed from diatomic oxygen (O2), water, and hydrogen peroxide. Some prominent ROS are hydroperoxide (O 2 H), superoxide (O 2-), [ 1 ] hydroxyl radical (OH.), and singlet oxygen. [ 2 ] ROS are pervasive because they are readily produced from O 2, which is ...

7. Health effects of sunlight exposure - Wikipedia

   A seasonal variation in blood pressure has been noted for decades. Research indicates that skin exposure to sunlight results in a modest reduction in systolic blood pressure. The effect is independent of vitamin D status, instead being mediated by nitric oxide release from skin upon exposure to UV light. The effect is greater in fair-skinned ...
