Funded Activity Summary

Nitric oxide (NO) is a biologically active gas which controls blood flow and blood pressure. New drugs which mimic the effects of NO show promise in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. This study investigates the ability of NO mimetics to protect blood vessels in disease, by limiting the production of toxic molecules, improving blood flow and preventing blood clot formation. The information gained may lead to the development of new therapies for blood vessel diseases such as stroke.
