..., leading to eNOS-dependent NO synthesis and eNOS-independent endothelial cell proliferation, respectively, and thus modulates vasoactive function and angiogenic response. Conclusion: This review highlights the potential role of NO in vasodilation, while stress-related ERK activation might act to strengthen...

...Robert R. Freedman; Suzanne Woodward; Maureen M. Mayes Menopausal hot flushes are accompanied by profuse sweating, decreased skin resistance, modest tachycardia and cutaneous vasodilation. With the exception of the last effect, these events are consistent with an abrupt increase in sympathetic...

... patients with underlying essential hypertension had significantly lower plasma concentrations (19.1 ± 3.0 µmol/l; p < 0.005). These findings suggest that NO contributes to maternal vasodilation, the maintenance of uterine quiescence, and the pathogenesis and clinical features of hypertensive disorders...
