The nitrite reductase activity of xanthine oxidoreductase sustains cardiovascular health
2024-11-03
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is a multi-functional enzyme that metabolises purines generating uric acid and is a generator of reactive oxygen species. Both functions have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. More recently, a third function of XOR as a nitrite reductase has been identified and been shown to play a key role in the benefits of targeting the non-canonica...
