Ascorbate mediates the non-enzymatic reduction of nitrite to nitric oxide
Nitric oxide (NO•) generated by nitric oxide synthases is involved in many physiological and pathophysiological processes. However, non-enzymatic formation of NO• also occurs in vivo. Here we investigated the production of NO• from nitrite, as facilitated by ascorbate, over the pH range of 2.4–7.4....
