Nitric Oxide in the Vasculature: Where Does It Come From and Where Does It Go? A Quantitative Perspective
Open accessAbstract
Nitric oxide (NO) affects two key aspects of O2 supply and demand: It regulates vascular tone and blood flow by activating soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) in the vascular smooth muscle, and it controls mitochondrial O2 consumption by inhibiting cytochrome c oxidase. However, significant gaps exist in our quantitative understanding of the regulation of NO production in the vascular region. Large apparent discrepancies exist among the published reports that have analyzed the various pathways in terms of the perivascular NO concentration, the efficacy of NO in causing vasodilation (EC50), its efficacy in tissue respiration (IC50), and the paracrine and endocrine NO release. In this study, we review the NO literature, analyzing NO levels on various scales, identifying and analyzing the discrepancies in the reported data, and proposing hypotheses that can potentially reconcile these discrepancies. Resolving these issues is highly relevant to improving our understanding of vascular biology and to developing pharmaceutical agents that target NO pathways, such as vasodilating drugs.

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.
