Exploring the Relationship Between Methylene Blue and Nitric Oxide
Reading Time: 4 minutes. Methylene blue notably affects nitric oxide synthesis by inhibiting nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and soluble guanylyl cyclase. This action disrupts key intracellular processes, modulating nitric oxide production and regulating vascular tone. Methylene blue‘s inhibition of iNOS, independent of calcium, reduces nitric oxide levels, thereby attenuating vasodilation. These mechanisms are crucial in…
