Nitric oxide, a miracle molecule that we will hear a lot about!
In this post, I would like to introduce you to one important online lecture , which summarizes many findings and basically the results of the investigation of such a simple molecule as NO, nitric oxide. It is a lecture authored by Dr. Nathan S. Bryan, Ph.D and is already from 2020, yet almost all of the information in it will probably be new and surprising to you. So right at the beginning Dr. Bryen learns about a study that shows that poor blood and oxygen supply is probably behind all chronic problems. Subsequently, he shows us that not only CO2 is necessary for the release of oxygen from the hemoglobin of red blood cells (Bohr effect), but that nitric oxide is also needed for this. This is a practically unknown function in addition to the already known vasodilation function, i.e. expansion and relaxation of the vascular muscles. Both CO2 and NO are required to release oxygen from hemoglobin. But NO also has other functions affecting not only the cardiovascular system, but also the
