The release of nitric oxide from S-nitrosothiols promotes angiogenesis.

The release of nitric oxide from S-nitrosothiols promotes angiogenesis.

Free nitric oxide (NO) reacts with sulphydryl residues to form S-nitrosothiols, which act as NO reservoirs. We sought to determine whether thiol-preserving agents and antioxidants, such as dithiothreitol (DTT) and vitamin C, induce NO release from S-nitrosylated proteins in endothelial cell cultures...
