Abstract

Endothelium-derived relaxing factor is a potent endogenous vasodilator. This substance is now known to be nitric oxide, which is derived from the metabolism of L-arginine. This potent vasodilator also inhibits interactions of circulating blood elements with the vessel wall. Platelet adherence and aggregation, as well as monocyte adherence and infiltration, are regulated by this paracrine factor. By virtue of these characteristics, nitric oxide inhibits atherogenesis.
