Nitric oxide (NO) is a small free radical with critical signaling roles in physiology and
pathophysiology. The generation of sufficient NO levels to regulate the resistance of the …

Arginine (L-arginine), is an amino acid involved in a number of biological processes,
including the biosynthesis of proteins, host immune response, urea cycle, and nitric oxide …

Nitric oxide (NO) is one of the most important molecules released by endothelial cells, and
its antiatherogenic properties support cardiovascular homeostasis. Diminished NO …

The vascular endothelium is a dynamic, functionally complex organ, modulating multiple
biological processes, including vascular tone and permeability, inflammatory responses …

Endothelial cells (ECs) are more than inert blood vessel lining material. Instead, they are
active players in the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) both in health and (life …

The endothelium can evoke relaxations of the underlying vascular smooth muscle, by
releasing vasodilator substances. The best‐characterized endothelium‐derived relaxing …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a key signalling molecule in the cardiovascular, immune and central
nervous systems, and crucial steps in the regulation of NO bioavailability in health and …

Endothelial cells control vascular tone by releasing nitric oxide (NO) produced by
endothelial NO synthase. The activity of endothelial NO synthase is modulated by the …

A link between oral health and cardiovascular disease has been proposed for more than a
century. Recently, concern about possible links between periodontal disease (PD) and …

Diminished bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO), the gaseous signaling molecule involved in
the regulation of numerous vital biological functions, contributes to the development and …
