Birkhauser Nitric Oxide and Free Radicals in Neurotransmission

Nitric Oxide and Free Radicals in Peripheral Neurotransmission provides a deep look into current research regarding the role of nitric oxide within the peripheral nervous system and its associated organs. This volume, part of the Nitric Oxide in Biology and Medicine series, serves as a valuable resource for medical professionals and researchers studying neurology and clinical neurophysiology. The text covers a wide range of topics, starting with a general consideration of nitrergic transmission. It goes on to explain the current understanding of how nitric oxide functions in transmission within individual peripheral organs. Readers will learn about its function as a chief transmitter, as well as its role as a backup or alternate transmitter. The book also examines how nitric oxide and related compounds influence conventional modulators. This work is a necessary addition to the scientific literature for those focused on internal medicine and the biological mechanisms of neurotransmission.
