Role of Nitric oxide in neurodegeneration: function, regulation and inhibition

What the fuck is this trying to say? Should I be taking foods that create nitric oxide? What? How much? How often? Answers to those questions are what we need researchers to focus on. AND THAT IS WHY WE NEED SURVIVORS IN CHARGE. Nothing useful will get done otherwise.  This is why reviews are useless.  

Role of Nitric oxide in neurodegeneration: function, regulation and inhibition

Abstract

Reactive nitrogen species (RNS) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) collectively known as reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) are the products of normal cellular metabolism and interact with several vital biomolecules including nucleic acid, proteins, and membrane lipids and alter their function in an irreversible manner which can lead finally to cell death. There is an imperative role for oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of cognitive impairments and the development and progression of neural injury. Elevated production of higher amounts of nitric oxide (NO) takes place in numerous pathological conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases, inflammation, and ischemia which occur concurrently with elevated nitrosative/oxidative stress. The enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS) is responsible for the generation of NO in different cells by conversion of L-arginine (Arg) to L-citrulline. Therefore, the NO signaling pathway represents a viable therapeutic target. Naturally occurring polyphenols targeting the NO signaling pathway can be of major importance in the field of neurodegeneration and related complications. Here we comprehensively review the importance of NO and its production in the human body and afterwards highlight the importance of various natural products along with their mechanisms against various neurodegenerative diseases involving their effect on NO production.
