Nitric Oxide and Free Radicals in Peripheral Neurotransmission [Hardcover]

Nitric Oxide and Free Radicals in Peripheral Neurotransmission is awelcome addition to the literature and describes current research intothe role of nitric oxide in the peripheral nervous system and itsassociated organs. Topics covered range from general consideration ofnitrergic transmission, in its broadest sense, to elaboration of ourcurrent understanding of the role of nitric oxide in transmission inindividual peripheral organs, including its role as a backup, oralternate as well as chief transmitter. The influence of nitric oxideand related compounds on the more conventional modes of autonomictransmission are also considered. Aimed at students and researchers inthe areas of neuroscience and physiology, Nitric Oxide and FreeRadicals in Peripheral Neurotransmission also covers the emergingrole of abnormal nitric oxide function in disease states and, whereappropriate, as potential avenues of therapy.
