Nitric oxide and blood pressure: effects of nitric oxide deficiency

C Baylis et al. Curr Opin Nephrol Hypertens. 1996 Jan.

Abstract

Nitric oxide plays several crucial roles in control of blood pressure and kidney function and in the dietary response to salt in normal humans and animals. Nitric oxide deficiency leads to hypertension and renal damage in experimental animals and may be related to the development of some hypertensive disorders in people.
