Nitric oxide (NO) is synthesized by at least three distinct isoforms of NO synthase (NOS). Their substrate and cofactor requirements are very similar. All three isoforms have some implications, physiological or pathophysiological, in the cardiovascular system. The endothelial NOS III is physiologica

## Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) is a potent vasodilator in terrestrial vertebrates, but whether vascular endothelialβderived NO plays a role in vascular regulation in fish remains controversial. To explore this issue, a study was made of spiny dogfish sharks (__Squalus acanthias__) in normoxia and ac
Two important mediators of endothelium-dependent regulation of vascular smooth muscle tone and proliferation are nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin (ET-1). An imbalance between NO and ET-1 may contribute to the alterations in vascular tone characteristic of cardiovascular disease. The objective of thi
Nitric oxide signalling during the past two decades has been one of the most rapidly growing areas in biology. This simple free radical gas can regulate an ever-growing list of biological processes. Here the regulation of NO synthesis in the liver is reviewed. The biogenesis of nitric oxide (NO) is
