The biological lifetime of nitric oxide: implications for the perivascular dynamics of NO and O2.
Cohort Study
Animal
2001 Jan 2The study shows that a tiny amount of nitric oxide slows down how much oxygen cells use, and this helps tissues get enough oxygen even far from blood vessels — just like the claim says.
