The biological lifetime of nitric oxide: implications for the perivascular dynamics of NO and O2.
Cohort Study
Animal
2001 Jan 2When tissues work harder and need more oxygen, a gas called nitric oxide helps spread oxygen farther from blood vessels by slowing down how fast cells use oxygen, so more cells get enough to survive.
