The review is devoted to the current assesment of the role of nitric oxide and inducible NO-synthase in physiological and pathological conditions. The inducible NO-synthase gene expression induction and post-transcriptional regulation of its activity are considered. Data on endogenous inducible NO-synthase inhibitors of are given. An analysis of the clinical trials aimed at studying the clinical efficacy of NO synthase inhibitors was carried out.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
