In liver cells from rats, nitric oxide lasts longer when there's less oxygen around because it doesn't get used up as quickly.

In liver cells from rats, nitric oxide lasts longer when there's less oxygen around because it doesn't get used up as quickly.
See the technical phrasing
In isolated rat hepatocytes, the half-life of nitric oxide (NO) ranges from 0.09 to over 2 seconds and is linearly dependent on local oxygen concentration, with longer half-lives observed under lower oxygen conditions due to reduced consumption rates.
