Abstract
NO is an essential biological mediator of both physiological and pathological processes 2. Its pivotal role in central and peripheral neurotransmission and smooth muscle relaxation is well established, while NO is also a mediator of inflammation and a player in oxidative stress pathways. Its net effect is probably a balance between its physiological and pathological roles, while, for our purposes, it serves as a marker for these processes.Keywords
