Abstract

Nitric oxide (NO), a major cellular signaling molecule, is produced by NO synthases (NOS) using arginine as a substrate . NO is not only a key endothelial derivative factor, but also plays an important role in the regulation of nutrient metabolism, such as glucose, fat, and amino acid. The synthetic rate of NO in cells can be regulated by arginine availability and NOS cofactors. Therefore, we can adjust the nutrient metabolism through the regulation of nitric oxide synthesis.[Chinese Journal of Animal Nutrition, 2011, 23(6):893 -900]
