1,681 words (approx. 6.7 pages) | 12 sources | MLA | 2007 Philippines


Paper Summary:

This paper examines how nitric oxide (NO), once generally viewed only as hazardous to humans, has now become a promising means of identifying and treating respiratory diseases such as asthma. It looks at how several studies have indicated the usefulness of nitric oxide in monitoring and managing asthmatic patients, particularly children.

From the Paper:

"Nitric oxide is a highly reactive, prevalent gas in human chemical activity. It can be found in neurons as n NOS or NOS1, in macrophages as iNOS or NOS-2, and in endothelial cells as eNOS or NOS-3 (Bor-Kucukatay, 2005). Nitric oxide is cellularly synthesized by the enzyme nitric oxide sythases denoted by NOS from arginine, molecular oxygen and NADPH. Nitric oxide interacts rapidly molecularly and disperses through cell membranes acting in a paracinic or autocrinic behavior . "
