Abstract

Within recent years, nitric oxide has emerged as an important regulator of a number of processes connected with circulation, the central nervous system, and immunological defenses [1]. This chapter is primarily concerned with membrane-related activation of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and with NOS activity in infarcted heart muscle.
