摘要: Nitric oxide (NO) is a free radical that involved in the inflammatory process and carcinogenesis. There are four nitric synthase enzymes NO production: induced (iNOS), endothelial (eNOS), neural (nNOS), mitochondrial NOS. iNOS an inducible key enzyme inflamed tissue. Recent literatures indicate as well eNOS can modulate cancer-related events including nitro-oxidative stress, apoptosis, cell cycle, angio-genesis, invasion, metastasis. This chapter focuses on linking NO/iNOS/eNOS to inflammation carcinogenesis from experimental evidence potential targets cancer prevention treatment.
