Abstract

Nitric oxide (NO) is a colorless gas at room temperature and one of the simplest molecules known, yet it has been implicated in a wide variety of regulatory mechanisms ranging from vasodilatation and blood pressure control to neurotransmission. It is also involved in nonspecific immunity and participates in the complex mechanism of tissue injury as a major mediator of inflammatory processes and apoptosis ( 1 ). This work focuses on the complex role of NO produced by the inducible form of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Although the earliest studies in the field suggested that NO is a strictly pro-inflammatory macrophage product, it is clear from the current literature that, in fact, NO is made by numerous cell types and is often anti-inflammatory. Much of this dichotomy can be explained by the particular responses of given cells involved in the inflammatory response, but another variable involves the complex chemistry in which NO can participate. As we outline below, various facets of the immune response can be examined from these perspectives.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
