title: Nitric oxide in inflammation and immunity.
abstract: Few discoveries have had as comprehensive an impact on the understanding of cellular physiology as the production of nitric oxide (NO.) from the terminal guanido amino group of L-arginine through nitric oxide synthases. The sheer volume of data presently coming forth on the physiology and pathophysiology of NO. ensures that any attempt at a comprehensive review will result in a simple snapshot of the event, soon to be outdated.
