The redox interplay between nitrite and nitric oxide: From the gut to the brain
The reversible redox conversion of nitrite and nitric oxide (·NO) in a physiological setting is now widely accepted. Nitrite has long been identified as a stable intermediate of ·NO oxidation but several lines of evidence support the reduction of nitrite to nitric oxide in vivo. In the gut, this no...
