According to recent research from the United States, "Despite substantial evidence that nitric oxide (NO) and/or endogenous S-nitrosothiols (SNOs) exert protective effects in a variety of cardiovascular diseases, the molecular details are largely unknown. Here we show that following left coronary artery ligation, mice with a targeted deletion of the S-nitrosoglutathione reductase gene (GSNOR(-/-)) have reduced myocardial infarct size, preserved ventricular systolic and diastolic function, and maintained tissue oxygenation." "These profound physiological effects are associated with increases in myocardial capillary density and S-nitrosylation of the transcription factor...
