Description
Nitric Oxide (NO), produced endogenously from L-Arginine by nitric oxide synthetases, plays an important role in many physiological processes including vascular regulation, immune responses, and neural communication. NO is extremely unstable and undergoes repaid oxidative degradation to nitrite (NO2-) and nitrate (NO3-), which can be spectrophotometrically determined. ScienCell's Colorimetric Nitric Oxide Assay kit provides an accurate measurement of NO level in a simple two-step process: the reduction of nitrate to nitrite by vanadium (III) chloride, followed by quantification of nitrite by Griess reaction
