Increased Salivary Nitrite and Nitrate Excretion in Rats with Cirrhosis

Increased Salivary Nitrite and Nitrate Excretion in Rats with Cirrhosis

Increased nitric oxide (NO) formation is mechanistically linked to pathophysiology of the extrahepatic complications of cirrhosis. NO is formed by either enzymatic or non-enzymatic pathways. Enzymatic production is catalyzed by NO synthase (NOS) while entero-salivary circulation of nitrate and nitr...
