Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Effects of NO on inflammation include vasodilation by inducing relaxation of vascular smooth muscle, a response that is local and short-lived, and by suppressing mast cell function, as well as platelet adhesion and aggregation. NO does not increase capillary permeability and cause pain, increase neutrophil chemotaxis and platelet aggregation, or cause smooth muscle contraction and fever.
