Abstract: Nitric oxide (NO) exerts multiple biological actions and is one of the most crucial signaling molecules [1,2]. It is endogenously synthesized from the precursor L-arginine by a family of NO synthases (neuronal [nNOS], inducible [iNOS], and endothelial NO synthase [eNOS]), with stoichiometric production of L-citrulline. NO activates soluble guanylyl cyclase in cells to synthesize cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) and relax smooth muscle.
