Nitric oxide (NO) is a diffusible, transient, reactive molecule, andĀ an important regulator of cardiovascular, neurological, and immunological systems. NO isĀ generated endogenouslyĀ by constitutive or induced enzymes like Nitric Oxide Synthase or orally ingested as nitrates/nitrites for rapid uptake into circulation and subsequent conversion.
The physical properties of NO make it challenging for direct detection methods. Thankfully, colorimetric methods can be used to measure the stable break-down products, nitrate and nitrite.
