Abstract excerpt
Nitric oxide is an important factor in the regulation of vasodilator tone. In vascular cells, NO is synthesized by endothelial nitric oxide synthase, a key enzyme of the endogenous vasodilator system. Some studies have described the interaction between NO and the other factors that promote vasodilatation in vascular smooth muscular cells. Some of those factors are angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), transforming...
