Tissue processing of nitrite in hypoxia: an intricate interplay of nitric oxide-generating and -scavenging systems.
Although nitrite (NO(2)(-)) and nitrate (NO(3)(-)) have been considered traditionally inert byproducts of nitric oxide (NO) metabolism, recent studies indicate that NO(2)(-) represents an important source of NO for processes ranging from angiogenesis through hypoxic vasodilation to ischemic organ pr...
