Our laboratory studies nitric oxide (NO) biosynthesis in mammals. NO is made by an enzyme named NO synthase, and is involved in many aspects of cell function and disease, including signal transduction in the brain, control of blood pressure and heart rate, gastric motility, oxygen delivery, immunologic destruction of tumor cells and microbes, infertility, impotence, and stroke.
