Cardioprotective function of inducible nitric oxide synthase and role of nitric oxide in myocardial ischemia and preconditioning: an overview of a decade of research.

Abstract excerpt

Over the past decade, an enormous number of studies (>100) have focused on the role of nitric oxide (NO) in myocardial ischemia. It is important to distinguish the function of NO in unstressed (non-preconditioned) myocardium from its function in preconditioned myocardium (i.e. myocardium that has shifted to a defensive phenotype in response to stress). Of the 92 studies that have examined the role of NO in...
