What Is Nitric Oxide?

Nitric oxide,

also known as nitrogen monoxide, is a highly unstable poisonous gas that, paradoxically, is vital to the health of humans and most other mammals. A byproduct of nitric acid production and human metabolic processes, nitric oxide is highly toxic. Exposure in high enough concentration can prove fatal. Despite its highly toxic nature, nitric oxide has several proved medicinal benefits.

Cardiovascular Health

• Nitric oxide produced by the human body plays an important role as a vasodilator. Its presence helps relax blood vessels and improves blood flow, reducing blood pressure. Additionally, nitric oxide helps to impede blood clotting within blood vessels, which helps fend off dangerous clots that can cause clogged arteries and lead to heart attack or stroke.
  

Weight Loss and Energy Production

• The presence of nitric oxide in the body helps stimulate the growth in size and number of the body's mitochondria. Mitochondria are special organelles found in most of the body's cells that are responsible for producing the energy the human body runs on. The larger and more numerous they are, the faster a cell's metabolism. While nitric oxide is only present in very small amounts, it is critical to keeping the cell's metabolism running correctly.
  
  
  

  Immune System Health

  • Nitric oxide acts as a messenger chemical within the body, assisting the immune system in seeking out and destroying invading bacteria, viruses and parasites. Additionally, nitric oxide disables the mitochondria of virus-infected cells. This kills the infected cells and and the virus that inhabits them.
    

  Cancer Prevention

  • The role of nitric oxide in fighting and preventing cancer is still being researched. Current research shows that nitric oxide helps to destroy cancerous cells by deactivating respiratory chain enzymes in the cells' mitochondria, causing cellular death. The death of the cancerous cells helps to keep tumors from growing and spreading.
    

  Current Medicinal Use

  • Currently nitric oxide, marketed under the trade name INOmax, is administered in gaseous form to premature infants as a treatment for respiratory failure. Other clinical uses include treatment of pulmonary hypertension and hypoxemia following cardiopulmonary bypass, asthma and bronchospastic disease and sickle cell anemia.
