title: [Nitric oxide in physiology and pathology of metabolism].
abstract: Adipose tissue generates many bioactive substances, which may exert autocrine, paracrine and endocrine effects. Recent studies have revealed, that one of these substances is nitric oxide. There are observed increased expressions of synthases NO (eNOS and iNOS) in adipose tissue in obesity. It seems that these increased expression NOS is reflected by increased serum concentration of NO in obese subjects. The review of the current literature on role of nitric oxide in physiology and pathology metabolism is presented in this paper.
