The nitrogen monoxide radical. This peculiar radical derived from nitrogen (NO·) is produced by endothelial cells and plays a prime physiological role in the regulation of blood pressure. Oxidative stress can lead to dysfunctioning of endothelial cells, causing them to produce the nitrogen monoxide radical in excess. The radical may then react with oxygenated free radicals to form substances that are highly toxic to the organism: peroxynitric derivatives (HOONOH). 8, record 1, English, - oxidonitrogen%28%26%23183%3B%29

Le radical du monoxyde d’azote. Ce radical particulier dérivé de l’azote (NO·) est produit par les cellules endothéliales et joue un rôle physiologique primordial dans la régulation de la pression sanguine. Un stress oxydant peut toutefois conduire à un mauvais fonctionnement des cellules endothéliales qui produiront alors un excès de radical du monoxyde d’azote. Ce dernier pourra réagir avec des radicaux libres oxygénés pour former des substances particulièrement toxiques pour l’organisme, les peroxynitriques (HOONOH). 7, record 1, French, - oxidoazote%28%26%23183%3B%29
