Nitric oxide is a paradox: a simple gas that orchestrates some of the body's most complex functions. From maintaining heart health to fighting infections to shaping memory, this remarkable molecule influences nearly every system - yet its gaseous nature delayed its recognition by the medical community for decades.
 
This book offers an interdisciplinary exploration of nitric oxide (NO), tracing its discovery, examining its molecular mechanisms, and revealing its therapeutic potential. The journey moves from NO's foundational role in cardiovascular health - including its use in treating angina and heart failure - to its immunological functions, where emerging research into NO's interaction with viral spike proteins points toward promising interventions for respiratory diseases. The exploration extends to neuroscience before turning to practical strategies for enhancing NO levels.
