Nitric oxide and peroxynitrite in the perinatal period.
Many of the actions of nitric oxide are not due to nitric oxide itself, but rather by the secondary formation of oxidants like peroxynitrite. Peroxynitrite leaves a footprint in the nitration of tyrosine, which helps track the formation of reactive nitric oxide-derived species in diseases and even normal development.
