摘要: There is increasing evidence that nitric oxide (NO) is an important molecular messenger involved in a wide variety of biological processes. Recent data suggest that NO is also involved in the regulation of the cerebral circulation. Thus, NO participants in the maintenance of resting cerebrovascular tone and may play an important role in selected vasodilator responses of the cerebral circulation. Furthermore, evidence has been presented suggesting that NO participates in the mechanisms of cerebral ischemic damage. Despite the widespread attention that NO has captured in recent years and the large number of studies that have been published on the subject, there is considerable controversy regarding the role of this agent in cerebrovascular regulation and in ischemic damage. In this paper the results of investigations on NO and the cerebral circulation are reviewed and the evidence for and against a role of NO is critically examined.
