Nitric oxide (NO) is a simple ubiquitous signaling molecule and plays important roles in almost every biological system. Recent evidences suggest that NO may act as an endocrine molecule. The aim of this review is considering available literature on endocrine roles of NO and/or its metabolites, i.e. nitrite and nitrate. Existing data suggest the idea that NO is a hormone that after production i...

The monitoring and controlling of environmental pollutions are very important in biological and industrial processes, and a great interest is growing with the development of suitable gas–sensitive materials and hazardous chemical removal devices. In this work, the highly parameterized, empirical exchange–correlation functional M06–2X were employed to investigate the electronic sensitivity of pe...

Adsorption of NO2 molecule on pristine and N-doped TiO2 anatase nanoparticles have been studied using the density functional theory (DFT) technique. The structural properties (such as bond lengths and bond angles) and the electronic properties (such as density of states, band structures and atomic partial charges) have been computed for considered nanoparticles. The result...

NO is a potent vasodilator that activates soluble guanylate cyclase, thereby increasing intracellular levels of cyclic GMP. In addition, NO exerts an inhibitory influence on cell proliferation and adhesion. The proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells or lymphocytes in culture is inhibited by exogenous NO donors as well as endogenous NO.Platelet adhesion and aggregation as well as monocyte...
