Overview

Nitric Oxide (NO) is a gas and a pluripotent product of mammalian cells. The great significance of NO as a signalling and cytotoxic molecule has captured the attention of the biomedical comunity. This volume provides a review of the role of NO in sepsis and ARDS. Consideration is given to NO both as a pathophysiologic mediator as well as a therapeutic agent. Numerous tables and charts have been included in order to aid the reader in understandiong this subject.
