“This paper shows that dedicated enzymes mediate the many effects of nitric oxide,” said the study’s lead author Dr. Jonathan Stamler, president of Harrington Discovery Institute at ...

How nitric oxide performs these activities had long been a mystery. The researchers discovered a novel “carrier” enzyme (called SNO-CoA-assisted nitrosylase, or SCAN) that attaches nitric oxide to ...

Discovery and Nobel Prize: Nitric oxide's role as a signaling molecule was discovered by pharmacologist Robert F. Furchgott, biochemist Louis J. Ignarro, and physician Ferid Murad. Their ...

Through a series of experiments, Dr. Murad discovered that nitroglycerin releases nitric oxide, which relaxes smooth muscle cells. The scientific world didn’t immediately embrace the idea that a ...

Prof Ignarro said it was the late American physician and pharmacologist Ferid Murad who discovered that nitric oxide can increase the levels of another signalling molecule in cells. “( ...

How nitric oxide performs these activities had long been a mystery. The researchers discovered a novel “carrier” enzyme (called SNO-CoA-assisted nitrosylase, or SCAN) that attaches nitric oxide to ...

The study results show that nitric oxide (NO) has a role in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) development, affects synaptogenesis and the glutamatergic and GABAergic systems in the cortex and the ...

She speaks English and a little French. Nitric oxide is a trending search term on TikTok, as voices in the wellness space tout the efficacy of supplements for enhancing physical performance ...

Why Trust Us? Keep in mind, though, that supplements don’t actually contain nitric oxide. Instead, they’re made with compounds that purportedly help increase the production of nitric oxide in ...

Rachael Link is a registered dietitian and health writer based in San Francisco. She completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Central Missouri and holds a master’s degree from New ...

Many human diseases, including Alzheimer's, cancer, heart failure and diabetes, are thought to be caused or accelerated by nitric oxide binding excessively to key proteins. With this discovery ...
