Tóm tắt

Abstract Nitric oxide is a pluripotential molecule that acts as both an autocrine and paracrine mediator of homoeostasis, and derangement of its metabolism can be linked with many pathophysiological events. This review provides a broad overview of the basic and clinical scientific aspects of nitric oxide.
