Article Synopsis
- Nitric oxide (NO) is a gas produced from arginine by the enzyme nitric oxide synthetase (NOS), playing various biological roles.
- Loss of retinal ganglion cells is a key feature of several eye diseases, such as glaucoma and optic neuritis, which may involve NO in their pathology.
- NO is implicated in regulating intraocular pressure, managing ocular blood flow, and influencing cell death (apoptosis) in the context of ocular diseases.
Nitric oxide (NO) is a gas with diverse biological activities produced from L-arginine by nitric oxide synthetase (NOS). This article provides a short overview of the basic function of NO which takes part in smooth muscle relaxation, neurotransmission, modulation of inflammation in a number of tissues and pathological conditions. The discovery of these new physiological and pathological pathways allows for better understanding of many complex processes.
