Modulation of nitric oxide synthase activity in macrophages
L-Arginine is converted to the highly reactive and unstable nitric oxide (NO) and L-citrulline by an enzyme named nitric oxide synthase (NOS). NO decomposes into other nitrogen oxides such as nitrite (NO2−) and nitrate (NO3−), and in the presence of superoxide anion to the potent oxidizing agent per...
