Abstract excerpt
The gas nitric oxide (NO) is an important messenger in brain signaling. Along with many other functions, NO is thought to influence the expression and/or release of various hypothalamic hormones (corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and vasopressin).
