nitric oxide

Nitrogen is a potent vasodilator, which means that it increases blood flow to the brain and other organs. In addition to being a neurotransmitter, it communicates between brain cells. nitric oxide is present in the majority of animal species, including humans. It is responsible for numerous vital functions, including the regulation of heart rhythm and blood pressure. In addition, it acts as a vasoconstrictor, slowing the heart rate.

Neurotransmitter

nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous compound that is released from presynaptic neuronal elements and can act as a transmembrane signaling molecule. NO  or nitric oxide gas has been shown to be a critical physiological signaling molecule in mammalian tissues. However, there is still much that is known about the mechanism of NO action. There is some evidence that nitric oxide plays a role in neuronal signaling, as well as in the regulation of motor function.

NO activates the heme-containing enzyme guanylate cyclase (GC), which generates cGMP, an important intracellular signaling molecule. This may be a key step in the generation of nitric oxide in some cell types. As a result, NO can regulate the activity of other regulatory proteins indirectly.

Another important target of NO is the soluble guanylate cycle (sGC), which is similar to an adenylate cyclase. sGC plays an important role in regulating the activity of GABA neurons.

Several different mechanisms have been proposed to explain the effects of NO on GABA transmission. Some of these mechanisms involve s-nitrosylation of cysteines, which has been suggested to mediate synaptic plasticity at excitatory synapses. Others suggest that nitric oxide regulates GABA signaling through a complex network of proteins and metabolites.

In addition, nitric oxide has been shown to affect the activity of NOS3. This action may be mediated through a negative feedback mechanism.
