The vascular endothelium has vasodilator, anti-thrombotic and athero-protective properties through the production of vasoactive mediators, such as nitric oxide (NO) and prostacyclin. NO is generated from the amino acid L-arginine by the enzyme NO synthase (NOS)....

Nitric oxide (NOx) is an important biomolecule which interactswith othermolecules including 25(OH)D to mediate various metabolic pathways. Interactions and associations of NOx with 25(OH)D have been well studied both in vitro and in vivo, yet associations in...
