Nitric oxide in shock: sepsis and hemorrhage

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Progress in Inflammation Research ((PIR))

Abstract

The past decade of nitric oxide (NO) research was highlighted by the awarding of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine to Drs. Robert Furchgott, Louis Ignarro, and Ferid Murad for their discoveries that endothelial cells synthesize nitric oxide (NO), and that endothelial derived NO regulates vascular smooth muscle relaxation. Although NO is one of the smallest synthetic products of mammalian cells, its contributions are large. Continued research in the field of NO has not only emphasized the important physiologic functions of NO, but has revealed its paradoxical role in pathophysiologic states as well.
