CAS Number: 10102-43-9. A colorless, poisonous gas formed by oxidation of nitrogen or ammonia. Chemical formula = NO. Molecular weight = 30.00614 g/mol.
A colorless, poisonous gas (NO) produced as an intermediate during the manufacture of nitric acid from ammonia or atmospheric nitrogen and as a product of cellular metabolism. In the body, nitric oxide is involved in oxygen transport to the tissues, the transmission of nerve impulses, and other physiological activities.
A chemical messenger released by nerve fibers that can widen blood vessels
shares a variety of actions, including radioprotector, cardiovascular regulation, neurotransmission, bronchodilation, and mediator of cytokine action.
is a short-lived gas that readily passes through cell membranes and which may mediate long-term potentiation. It is known to activate a number of intracellular secondary messengers and so may have a number of other roles within the CNS-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor is a type of glutamate receptor that may be important in a number of different synaptic processes, including long-term potentiation
A type of inhaled gas used to help preemies who are intubated.
(Nitrik oxide) A substance that mediates vascular smooth muscle relaxation
Compound produced by enzymes in the body that acts as a potent blood vessel relaxant.
a poisonous red-brown gas (NO)
A protohormone that generates cyclic GMP. Nitric oxide is a free radical.
A highly reactive gas that is involved in a wide array of biological functions and functions as a part of the body's immune system
nitric oxide is a highly reactive molecule that protects the body from a number of pathogens and general microbial invasion
A signaling molecule released by nerve endings during erection that allow the smooth muscle tissue in the penis to relax.
A gas formed by combustion under high temperature and high pressure in an internal combustion engine; changes into nitrogen dioxide in the ambient air and contributes to photochemical smog.
NO; a potentially toxic gas found both in the atmosphere and in the body in small amounts. In the body, nitric oxide helps to move oxygen to the tissues and transmit nerve impulses.
A gas molecule in the body that serves as a chemical messenger with a wide range of functions. It is an important signaling molecule in the body dilation (widening) of blood vessels, which increases blood supply.
a reactive oxygen intermediate (free radical) that has several biological functions.
A substance that is formed in the endothelium; acts as a potent vasorelaxant in vascular smooth muscle
A colorless and poisonous gas.
A compound released by the lining (endothelium) of vessels and by aggregating platelets. It inhibits clot formation and acts like an antioxidant.
A small, membrane-permeant molecule that is thought to serve as a cellular signal. Nitric oxide (NO) is formed by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase from the amino acid arginine.
A colorless gas, formula NO, the most common form of nitrogen emitted into the atmosphere, either by fuel combustion or due to natural emissions. Nitric oxide is interconverted with nitrogen dioxide fairly readily in the atmosphere, resulting in catalytic cycles leading to ozone formation in the troposphere and ozone loss in the stratosphere.
one of the simplest biological molecules, (composed of nitrogen and oxygen) in nature, functioning as a critical endogenous regulator of blood flow and thrombosis as well as a principal neurotransmitter. NO mediates erectile function inflammation and host defense.
Produced by several different kinds of cells and present in all humans and most animals, nitric oxide functions as a signaling molecule that tells the body to make blood vessels relax and widen. Nitric oxide controls our blood pressure, giving us more blood when we’re exercising and reducing the flow of blood when we’re at rest. Since heart attacks happen when the blood can’t flow through the blood vessels to the heart, we of course want to encourage lots of nitric oxide in our body…it can help by relaxing the blood vessels, allowing them to open and increasing blood flow. 10
A gas formed by combustion under high temperature and high pressure in an internal combustion engine. NO is converted by sunlight and photochemical processes in ambient air to nitrogen oxide. NO is a precursor of ground-level ozone pollution, or smog.
precursor of ozone, NO2, and nitrate; usually emitted from combustion processes. Converted to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in the atmosphere, it then becomes involved in the photochemical process and/or particulate formation
