The Bioactivity of Neuronal-Derived Nitric Oxide in Aging and Neurodegeneration: Switching Signaling to Degeneration

What the fuck is this trying to say? Nitric oxide is extremely useful in relaxing the blood vessels and reducing blood pressure. 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.

 

 

The Bioactivity of Neuronal-Derived Nitric Oxide in Aging and Neurodegeneration: Switching Signaling to Degeneration

Highlights

Changes in the bioactivity of .NO are central to the molecular pathways associated with brain aging and neurodegeneration, including neurometabolism, neurovascular coupling and neuroinflammation;

Bioactivity of .NO is shaped by the redox milieu in cells and tissues;

Monitoring .NO concentration Dynamics in brain tissue and in vivo can be achieved using electrochemical methods coupled to microelectrodes.

Abstract

The small and diffusible free radical nitric oxide (NO) has fascinated biological and medical sciences since it was promoted from atmospheric air pollutant to biological ubiquitous signaling molecule. Its unique physical chemical properties expand beyond its radical nature to include fast diffusion in aqueous and lipid environments and selective reactivity in a biological setting determined by bioavailability and reaction rate constants with biomolecules. In the brain, NO is recognized as a key player in numerous physiological processes ranging from neurotransmission/neuromodulation to neurovascular coupling and immune response. Furthermore, changes in its bioactivity are central to the molecular pathways associated with brain aging and neurodegeneration. The understanding of NO bioactivity in the brain, however, requires the knowledge of its concentration dynamics with high spatial and temporal resolution upon stimulation of its synthesis. Here we revise the understanding of the role of neuronal-derived NO in brain physiology, aging and degeneration, focused on changes in the extracellular concentration dynamics of this free radical and the regulation of bioenergetic metabolism and neurovascular coupling.(Nothing here told us anything useful at all, What the fuck were you thinking when you wrote these lines?)
