Relaksasi Otot Polos Pembuluh Darah Akibat Pengaruh Nitric Oxide (NO) (Vascular Smooth Muscle Relaxation by Nitric Oxide (NO)
Nitric oxide (NO) was once regarded as a noxious environmental pollutant, when in the 1980s several lines of research showed that NO is essential of the human body. NO is a short-lived gas that is produced locally from L-arginine by the enzyme NO-synthase NOS). NOS is found in preganglionic and postganglionic autonomic neurons, as well as in vascular endothelial cells. Inside the VSMC (vascular smooth muscle cells) is the receptor for No, a soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) that converts GTP to cGMP. cGMP activate cGKI, cGKI cause decrease on the cytosolic calcium concentration [Ca²+], and then reduce MLCK activity, so relaxation occurs.
