Recent Advances in Nitric Oxide Research

The International Symposium on Recent Advances in Nitric Oxide Researc h was held in Sapporo, Japan, in September 1997. Researchers from Japa n and the United States met to share their most recent findings on the controversial function of NO in the human body. The papers contained in this volume, which were presented at the Sapporo Symposium, focus o n newly discovered mechanisms of NO production and NO toxicity. The bo ok consist of four parts: NO and Cell Function, NO and Circulation, NO Production, and NO and Liver. Included are reports of NO research in a number of areas of medical science and practice-hypertension, tumor growth, critical care, hepatic surgery, geriatrics, and gynecology. Re cent Advances in Nitric Oxide Research is a valuable recourse for rese archers and practitioners alike.
