- W2022831345 abstract "Background: Nitric oxide (NO) deficiency is implicated in many pathophysiological processes in mammals. NO is a ubiquitous molecule involved in multiple cellular functions. Uncontrolled or inappropriate production of NO may lead to several disease states including septic shock, rheumatoid and inflammatory arthropathies, and expansion of cerebral damage after stroke. However, to date, there are no therapeutic agents available that can overcome these conditions. Similarly, underproduction of NO by NO synthase or enhanced breakdown of NO also leads to diseases such as hypertension, ischemic conditions, pre-eclampsia, premature delivery, among others. NO donor therapies are indicated in these conditions. Results: Nitroglycerin and nitrates (NO donors) have been used as therapeutic agents for the past century, particularly to treat vascular disease, and the only significant adverse effects are headaches. NO donors are highly cost-effective and have beneficial effects in multiple body systems. When the body cannot generate NO via NO synthase or due to rapid turnover leading to inadequate amounts of NO available for biological homeostasis, administration of exogenous NO, or prolongation of the actions of endogenous NO, are practical ways to supplement NO. Conclusion: Recipients of such therapy include patients with angina pectoris, coronary artery disease, hypertension, osteoporosis, gastrointestinal motility disorders, pregnancy-related disorders including premature delivery, pre-eclampsia, vulvodynia, and erectile dysfunction in men. Postmenopausal NO deficiency is rectified with hormone replacement therapy, which enhances local production of NO. Declining local NO production secondary to estrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women and perhaps in older men could be one of the reasons for age-related increased incidences of cardiovascular events and sexual dysfunction. Thus, in addition to supplementation of NO compounds in acute situations like alleviating angina and erectile dysfunction, chronic NO therapy is cost-effective in decreasing cardiovascular events, and improving the urogenital system and skeletal health." @default.
