Discovered in the late 20th century, nitric oxide is produced by nitric oxide synthase and is an important signaling molecule in several cellular systems, influencing vascular tone, neurotransmission, and immune response. Nitric oxide enhances insulin sensitivity, promoting vasodilation and facilitating glucose uptake. Impaired NO production is linked to insulin resistance. Nitric oxide also modulates mitochondrial respiration and ATP synthesis. NO participates in neurotransmission and neuronal function, and its dysregulation may contribute to oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. AkrivisBio’s Nitric Oxide Assay is a simple sensitive means of quantifying total nitrate & nitrite in a variety of biological samples with a sensitivity of 100 pmoles per well.
