Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO), a potentially toxic relatively unstable free radical gas, has emerged to be a major factor in several pivotal regulatory pathways [3]. Recent research mainly in mammalian systems has indicated that NO and its formative enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS) are endogenous bioregulators, both stimulatory and inhibitory [cf review, 6].
