Photochemistry of nitric oxide and S-nitrosothiols in human skin
11 Mar 2020
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) is related to a wide range of physiological processes such as vasodilation, macrophages cytotoxicity and wound healing. The human skin contains NO precursors (NOx). Those are mainly composed of nitrite (NO2−), nitrate (NO3−), and S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs) which forms a large NO store. These NOx stores in human skin can mobilize NO to blood stream upon ultraviolet (UV) light exposure. The...
