Nitric oxide synthase and insulin secretion

CONSTITUTIVE NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE AND INSULIN SECRETION 

As reviewed in Chapter 3 of this book, nitric oxide is the product of the enzymatic oxidation of one of the guanidino nitrogen groups of L-arginine to the free radical nitric oxide and L-citrulline (Marietta etal., 1988). At present there appears to be at least three distinct isoforms of nitric oxide synthase that are primarily differentiated at the level of gene expression (Schmidt, 1992 Nathan,
