Clinical biology of nitric oxide

Abstract: Nitric oxide is a pluripotential molecule that acts as both an autocrine and paracrine mediator of homoeostasis, and derangement of its metabolism can be linked with many pathophysiological events. This review provides a broad overview of the basic and clinical scientific aspects of nitric oxide.

“…Nitric oxide is a free radical with a half-life of a few seconds. Nitric oxide activates soluble guanilate-cyclase and increases the level of c-GMP (guanosine 3'-5'cyclic monophosphate), which in turn causes relaxation of smooth muscles [23]. Components of Chronic Anal Fissure influence the success rates of various medical treatments.…”

“…cia de NO pode promover trombose vascular, restenose, aterogênese e injúria da reperfusão [30][31][32] . A diminuição da vasodilatação dependente do endotélio pode ser induzida por hipertensão, diabetes e/ou aterosclerose 11 . O NO pode ser um inibidor da adesão leucocitária em microvasos pós-capilares 33,34 .…”

“…O NO é sintetizado pela ativação da cNOS basal (em células endoteliais vasculares e neurônios) segundos a minutos após o aumento na concentração de cálcio em resposta à ativação de receptores da superfície celular e mecanismos de transdução de sinal 9 . Sua síntese não é afetada pela administração de glicocorticóides 11 . A cNOS apresenta forma monomérica, é cálcio-calmodulina dependente e tem peso molecular de 133 kd.…”
